Why can’t instagram distinguish between a public performance vs a cop playing music. Should be pretty easy to do.

Doubt it. Copyright violation detected is fully automated for the most part, and very good at detection regardless of background noise.

You would need a human viewing footage and listening for every single post to determine this.

The challenge is determining between music playing in the background of a real-life arrest, vs the same for a fictional arrest where they would want to claim copyright usage fees.

That's a hard job for most people, nevermind an automated system where the copyright holder doesn't care about false positives.
