11. Cops do that

lie, that is, because they know the person they lie about will have to pay for a lawyer, take time off of work, maybe lose their job, worry about getting convicted anyway, etc.

And cops joke about it - they can use the system to punish anyone, guilty or not. And they will not get any blowback, either. They respond with cop jargon and "by the book" - "I feared for my life", etc.

The solution is to make the lying cop pay out of their own pocket. And put their names on the Brady (?) list - the list that stops them from getting re- hired as cops.
