Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

I need an attorney to represent me December 4, 2013 for interference. Can an officer go under oath and lie and get away with it? I was arrested for interference. I sat on the edge of a couch when a friend told me she called the police on me. Instead of me leaving I waited for them to arrive. I was more than willing to cooperate. When the officers got there, they entered the apartment I don't remember anyone stating they could enter. The first officer flew up the stairs. I made a statement to "damn y'all just went looking through her apartment with no search warrant." Immediately I was arrested. I was told I was going to detox until I said I was not that drunk and was invited to the girl who called the police home. Officer proceeded to arrest me then stated he was taking me to jail. My rights were not read and I then became irate and hostile. Did I really interfere? In the report the 2nd officer stated I proceeded upstairs after the officer who went flying up the stairs.. But I was being arrested while the officer upstairs was looking for me.

Your answer depends on whether or not you want the legal answer, or the practical answer.

Legally speaking, no they can't get away with falsely filling out an arrest affidavit or lying in court.

Practically speaking, it happens every day.
