In several countries that would be illegal, but the police would never investigate themselves.

> the police would never investigate themselves

Makes sense, would be a huge conflict of interest. That's why most modern countries have separate independent investigative agencies whose purpose is to investigate the police. Sadly, some of the more police-horny countries tend to give these agencies faux power rather than something real, and in the worst ones, the police has qualified immunity anyway.

Defamation is a civil thing though, isn't it?
