The power needs to be reversed, not equalized. Anyone in government, LEO's or not, and at any level, should be convicted of a felony if it was found that they lied to you about anything. Citizens should be allowed to protect their freedoms and liberty by being able to lie to law enforcement. I wouldn't advise it, keeping your mouth shut is the best option, but it should not be illegal for citizens to lie.
The FIBers lied to the FISA court. They need to be prosecuted for that as well as leaking classified material as well as various other violations of the law they committed during Obamagate.
