This Ted person makes me sad, :-[ mad  :'(and disgusted.  Sadly my sons chances of becoming a police officer were ruined by the by the LAPD and its polygraph testing, he is not alone as so many other (honest applicants) including my son did not use countermeasures and told the whole truth, yet were DQ'ed due to a test that should never be used for anything.

The fact that this Ted person is here bragging about his past filled with unlawful practices and actions not becoming anyone seeking a position in law enforcement,and the fact he still passed the test is of little surprise to me as the test itself is so flawed that the lier passed and the honest young applicants fail.

I wonder when this City will come to it's sences and stop using this test as a determiner for the suitability of those persons going through the process.  The B.I.s should use their investagations to investigate !!! (hopefully finding those applicants who un-fairly include names of people who will out and out lie for them) and DQ  those liars not applicants who are so fearful of the polygraph that they take too many breaths or sweat or seem scared during the process of taking the test itself.  For Gods sake this City is financially in a real bad situation and these tests are expensive and unrealiable.  Why continue to pay for them?????????  Let's go back to the old way and have the Cops do their job and pick those applicants who are suitable and come reccommended by their familys, neighbors, bosses, co-workers, teachers, preists and friends.

I pary that this Ted person gets no further than the front door of the Academy and is found out!  Or, like so many others before him, he will cost this City and its citizens money in the future by acting out his past and being the creep that he had admitted to being by his posts here.  God is watching "TED" don't be so darn proud of being a liar, drug user, and a all around smart ass of a person.  If  ??? you make it through the entire process you might become the next Rafel Perez!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and land your own butt in jail.
