What is the punishment for police who commit perjury?

Any person, police officer or not, is liable to criminal prosecution if they commit perjury.However, you should bear in mind some points:-Perjury must usually be about a "material fact" of the case (something that would have a direct impact on the verdict)-Perjury does not apply when a person merely gives an opinion or assessment of facts, so long as that opinion is sincerely held.-Being "wrong" and refusing to admitit, or remembering events differently than other witnesses is not grounds for a perjury charge.An example might help:If a police officer states in court that he found drugs on you, but in reality he simply pulled a stash out of his trunk and claimed it was in your pocket, that is perjury. If the police officer claims you were originally stopped for speeding but you were actually stopped for running a red light, that is not "material" to the drug charge, and is therefore not perjury.
