Is it a sin for a cop to lie to a criminal suspect?

I got to remember that. And Just wars and self defense stink. The best self deeee-fenze is a taser stun gun.

What about the kid who’s friend may tell them about how they’re planning on killing themselves and ask their friend not to tell anyone? The friend may say okay (to appease the friend)knowing full well he’ll tell an adult a.s.a.p. and try to talk the friend into getting help. This would be a lie from one friend to another, but it will save the life of the other. Or how about someone who confides in another not to tell anyone that they are/were abused? The person will usually say that they won’t tell anyone (before finding out what was going to be discussed) and then will proceed to tell the proper people so that the person will get help. These two examples are practical examples that if not all of us, many of us have been a part of in one form or another. Yet, these are examples of lies.

I have already told my daughter that in situations like that when someone says “don’t tell anyone” that is her cue to go and tell someone. We have a responsibility to help our fellow man. Didn’t Jesus say that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves? If so than how would we want someone to handle the situation if we were the ones that are spoken about above?

Don’t forget fellow woman too.As long as no one tells a lie.
