So if a police officer doesn’t witness a murder they’re unable to use evidence that’s introduced by somebody else at court? Give me a break. They just don’t want to do the deposition and affidavit legwork and hope the non police officer witness shows up in court to introduce evidence if challenged. It’s a more pain in the ass case that has more ways to fall apart (identification, the witness or the officer just not showing up) but it’s just laziness.
that, and, ideologically the cops don’t care about victims, especially if the perp is one of them. the car cult is not going to police itself.
This isn’t surprising, police can’t be arsed. They’ve basically decriminalised shop lifting, will say anything they can is a civil matter. They’ve got much better things to do like raping women, stealing their underwear and the odd murder.
You wouldn’t go to the toilet in a policeman’s helmet and then send it to his grieving widow.

Idea: have a 1.5 meter long stick come out the side of your bicycle with a brick at the end of it.
They can’t blame you if they run into the brick on their own.
It’s only that stupid physics and balance thing didn’t get in the way 😡
