This goes on all over the country. For every rotten officer that steals, there is a whole bushel back at the station that turn a blind eye and happily have bbqs with them on the weekends. Did you also know that when the police record an interview they do not have to preserve the tapes, the officers summary of the conversation is often taken as fact.

This is why you never say anything to an officer except, "I need to call my attorney."

If you have any kind of a discussion with an officer, they can say whatever they want, even say you confessed.
