If you think police officers fabricating evidence to justify searches and lying to judicial officers about it is a rare occurrence, given what has happened this week you have to think twice. In Hamilton “Superior Court Justice Catrina Braid convicted 12-year officer Robert Hansen of one count of perjury and two counts of obstructing justice Friday. Hansen encouraged an informant to plant a gun in the residence of a suspected drug trafficker and committed obstruction of justice and perjury when he provided false information in a sworn document he put before a justice of the peace to obtain a search warrant.”
