In which countries, if any, is lying to police unpunished?
Based on this (very interesting!) little twitter conversation about breaking out of prison in Iceland / Germany and Mexico, I was thinking about a similar question:
In which countries is it considered normal to lie to the police and lying, when discovered, goes unpunished?
In the UK, there's a specific offence of "perverting the course of justice" which often results in a longer sentence than the original offence would have done. I used to live in Italy, and had the impression from friends that lying to the police was considered somehow "legal" there, but I can't find any evidence of this. Does anyone know of any examples where either lying to the police is fine (because there's no law), or a specifically protected form of speech? |
