I personally have, in my possession, a police report in which the officer in question made up my ‘admission’ out of whole cloth.

I had something similar happen to me in my early 20’s with a small animal cruelty accusation. When he lies, there is not much you can do. Well, in my case the fine was small enough that I just paid it and learned my lesson.

You are dancing on the edge here, revealing that you have “Police Department Business Documents”.

One day I requested a police report. For $15, I got two pages of ‘redacted’ black stripes, with probably one dozen words revealed. I took it back, and got my $15 back. Wish now I had kept it as an example.

I had a cop bump up my speeding ticket by a few miles per hour to get me into the range for a mandatory court date rather than just paying the fine to the clerk. I didn't try the "I was only going 75 in a 55 zone" defense. But I did remember that cops will lie if you don't have contrary evidence.

Yep, I’ve seen police officers make up statements and lie on the stand under oath. Contradicted by multiple witnesses, but the court gives more weight to their testimony anyway.
