My apologies for the grammatical disaster, I was editing and double clicked the wrong button.
Why are you not addressing the real issue?
It is Legal for LEO to lie, to use subtrifuge in trying to obtain information from a suspect or potential suspect (which is everybody of course).
That means the Officer was not doing anything wrong. Other than being offensive to our sense of right and wrong..
He was not breaking any law..
He was not saying “I will arrest you unless you give me $20”
Address that problem and you can get to the root of things.
Firing the LEO who did not falsely charge the kid is wrong.
All it will do is result is Officers being more slick.. Placing more people in “Protective Custody” or using other more aggressive but technically correct techniques to gain compliance..
So the next kid that does not answer will get pulled out of the car thumped and arrested for X & X & X.
It is easy to triumph up a cause for arrest..
At the same time we want Officers to be vigilant and to be inquisitive..
The other possible result is for Officers to just ignore anything but gunshots and bloody screams..
Firing this LEO was wrong because he did nothing wrong as the law is currently written.
I don’t see the value in his removal..

One does not have to break the law to be fired from his job. I would be interested to see what department policy says about this, though. You may be right, he may have broken no laws or rules. Not something I had considered.

Threatening falsifying charges to arrest an innocent person and getting their car towed falls way outside lying and subterfuge IMO. With your theory cops could just walk up an down the street, bracing people at will and threatening them until they confess.
Remember, only in a police state is the job of a policeman easy.
-- Cops that mess with people are on the way out, thanks to recorders, and the 'agitators' they enable. -- And rational people won't miss that type of police work.

I am. The real issue is cops that abuse their authority.

We are all suspects. Good grief. And it is not 'legal' for officials to lie.

Its been addressed by our Constitution. All officials are sworn to support and defend it. Lying is a form of entrapment.

'Slick' officials can be dealt with. - And recording their every move is an excellent way to start.
So the next kid that does not answer will get pulled out of the car thumped and arrested for X & X & X.
And the next kid that records getting pulled out of the car and thumped, -- the cop will be arrested for assault.

Yep, that used to be the case. Records from on the scene will put a stop to such trumped up police triumphs.

Cops will have to learn to do their jobs without abusing rights.

Spare me the hype.

Here's the current law.

Apparently, you've never ran into a rogue cop. Lucky you.
