And I’m pretty sure there will – as always – be no real consequences for those within the police who deliberately faked evidence.
Iv’e said it many times in the past and I can’t understand why it isn’t viewed as common sense:
As long as the statements of police officers typically have a higher credibility in front of the court than statements of normal civilians (meaning: one persons word against anothers means the word of the police wins) and as long as they have the monopoly on the use of force, it should be absolutely clear that any kind of abuse of those powers (e.g. telling lies in front of the court) should be met with the harshest of consequences.
Theres absolutely no reason why a policeman who was caught lying should remain in service, and in fact, not sit in prison. It opens the door for the most perfidious injustice. (E.g. police unprovokedly beating up civilians and then getting the civilians convicted for attacking the police. Which unfortunately seems to be not uncommon.)

Sounds like a BASTARDS idea. Rebuilding the scene is not a one man job, there ARE many obstacles to overcome And he probably wasn’t alone in this, and many other COPS probably knew about it and said nothing.. And the very few who didn’t know could have noticed that something is off with the character of the others.. it’s almost like ALL of them could have done better..
