How many times can you hand a Sargent bad work before you pay for it?

I have to disagree. The only difference between many cops and the guys that don't get hired is that the cops never got caught. We are talking about pot here now, not actual criminal activity or heroin. Just because a guy smoked some dope as a kid does not make him a bad guy. I would actually say having some life experience would make him a better officer that some squeeky clean college kid. I think if it's what he really wants to do with his life, then leave the past behind. It is a stupid standard and is not worthy of an honest answer anyway. One of the things they teach cops in the academy is that it's fine to lie to a suspect if it will get him to talk. It's cool if you lie FOR them, just not TOO them. Also, unless he was going for CIA or NSA, I would not worry about any of this coming up in a background check. I think you have too much faith in the government!
This is just my opinion so take it for what it's worth, but it looks like he has 2 choices.
1. Be honest about your youthful pot smoking and never get the job you want.
2. Lie about it and give yourself a chance.
Just my .02, but anyone willing to lie to get the job shouldn't be in law enforcement.
