- They don’t do the work necessary to know the laws and constitutional rights they need to know to do their job. Typically they know the title of statues, but not the text.

- After they fail to investigate, they then use force in a way that antagonizes the suspect, escalating hostility, then they lie to paint the suspect in the worst possible light, then they trump up the charges (resisting arrest, obstruction) which they try to leverage into a plea deal
- They don’t investigate the facts, check the recording, ignore the person they are arresting. They just go with what the ID/computer appears to say.
- Accuse and handcuff man in a wheelchair for kicking in a door without doing an investigation to get the disabled man’s side of the story.

Hotel recording doesn’t show suspect, yet officers need to lie to the DA to maintain their story, and arrest for failure to ID (which only applies if you have probable cause for an arrest).
- They don’t investigate before sending a swat team to rifle through a 78-year old grandma’s house.
