That deputy lied and it was caught on camera. His career in law enforcement is over and that is a good thing.

You'd hope so, but this is the same state where a cop pulled out his gun and failed to identify himself as police before making commands at a traffic stop, followed with charging the guy with felony wiretapping for recording the incident and putting it up on youtube. Oh, and also the same departmentdid a no knock raid on a Mayor's house, shot the dogs, and said they did everything correctly.

The department knew he was lying, and had seen the tapes 2 days after the arrest, and yet the kid still spent 4 months in jail.

Neither of those examples involve officers lying so I'm not sure how you draw the connection.

Then they should all pay dearly.

Haven't you seen The Wire? All the cops in Maryland are corrupt drunkards.
