Which type of police lying is considered the most harmful,as it violates the law and police regulations?

D) deviant lying

Deviant lying is considered the most harmful as it involves officers lying in order to cover up misconduct, violating both the law and police regulations. This type of lying erodes public trust in law enforcement and can have serious consequences for justice and accountability. Accepted lying, justified lying, and tolerated lying may be considered more minor forms of deception, but they can still damage police credibility and undermine the public's trust in law enforcement.
