They have not just severely damaged their cases, they have severely damaged their credibility in the communities they are a part of. As soon as the relationship with the law abiding people that hire them becomes intrinsically adversarial, we all lose.

Exactly!
My son who just turned 20 this month has been pulled over, cuffed and had his vehicle searched 28 times.
Why?
Nothing has ever been found, but they really, really wanted to find a weed seed or two in the ashtray so they could get credit for a drug bust.
They know who is too poor to hire a good lawyer.
We have far too many police officers in our little town. Harrassing kids makes the days go by.
