While taking a basic course in law in one of my many stints in college, though unfinished, the professor stated unequivocally that cops commit 95% of the perjury committed in this country under oath in a courtroom. He cited several studies that held to that percentage. And he was a great supporter of the police, so his dog in that fight had interests in opposition to what he was saying.
I do not know the methodology of the studies, because how do you get a liar to admit he is, and how do you believe him once he has. However, this professor who was also a practicing attorney and sometimes prosecutor was adamant that what he said was true.
Having more experience in life than all the youngsters in the class, I was the only one who wasn't surprised or inclined to argue the point.
