Editing Police perjury (section)

==Remedies==
A police officer's reputation for trustworthiness is an important asset to their effectiveness; police who have been caught lying to the court make poor witnesses, and previous convictions relying on their testimony can be vacated if their misconduct is pervasive. This can result in [[termination of employment|termination]], and such terminations have been judicially enforced.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/you-lie-you-die-dishonesty-derails-58665/ |date=February 29, 2016 |title="You Lie, You Die" – Dishonesty Derails Discrimination Case |quote=It's an expression you hear often among police officers and other sworn employees: 'You Lie, You Die.'

Some suggest that narrowing or blunting the exclusionary rule may get rid of the incentive for police to lie to the court. That has happened to the extent that the US Supreme Court has recognized exceptions like the "[[good faith exception]]." Some argue that civil liability could have a [[prophylactic]] effect on police misconduct.
