It's about a cop who felt that his station was becoming corrupt. So he started wearing a wire all the time and recorded evidence against his bosses.
"I will always remember the first time a cop lied to me"
Without reading further -
I've kept my nose pretty clean, so mine was a cop who ticketed me for going 70 on the freeway. He told me that 60 mph was an appropriate speed for the fast lane on I-5 in the 60 mph zone, heading north into Seattle, one of the worst freeway congestions in the country.
I was pretty jaded even before I heard that This American Life episode, but that really nailed in the coffin. The officer sold my trust in the police department pretty cheaply that day.
