What is the penalty for lying under oath in the state of Iowa?
Lying under oath, or "perjury", carries civil and criminal sanctions. As a civil issue, it is a contempt of the Court, and the judge can give you time in jail, a fine, or both. As a criminal offense, perjury can be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on whether or not it's "aggravated". Perjury is said to be "aggravated" if it directly relates to the issue on trial. For example, if you are a witness in a murder trial and you tell the Court you are 25 years old, when really you are 26 years old, you have committed perjury (misdemeanor). If, however, in the same murder trial you tell the Court you saw the accused hack the victim to bits with a machete, but in reality you just saw two people fighting in a dark alley but couldn't tell who it was, you have committed an aggravated perjury (felony).

What would happen to a judge who knows a police officer lies under oath and lets the officer get away with lying?
The officer would need to be charged with perjury or aggravated perjury and then indicted, and then receive a criminal trial. You could follow up with the department where the officer works and file an internal affairs complaint as well and the department where the officer works should look into it. In the event the officer is found to be untruthful beyond a reasonable doubt and found guilty, I would guess the officer would face the consequences anyone else would for the same crime. As far as the judge goes, they do not have the option to summarily pass judgement and adjudicate the officer as having committed perjury or aggravated perjury. The person accused has the rights to the same criminal justice system as everyone else, including the representation of an attorney at their criminal proceedings.
