Cops are trained liars. Don't believe them.

I was in a courthouse in rural VA a few months ago, and a defendant was challenging a moving violation charge. Cop gave his testimony. Defendant, in court, said the cop was lying, the cop knew it, the defendant could prove it ... pulling no punches. "Cops are liars," in court, under oath.
The judge let the man go on for a few minutes, smiled, reduced his sentence. No suggestion he be quiet or that he was out of line or that he was wrong.
After receiving his reduced sentence, guy stormed out of the court, complaining the whole way about the lying cops. No bailiff approached him.
It's the US judicial system. Not the justice system.
