How would this work? I come into lineup and am assigned to the team to pick up so-and-so. All I know is that there is a warrant. So we go pick him up. We get sued individually? Should we sue the magistrate who issued the warrant?
So the PD, prompted by the courts, changes procedure and requires corroborating evidence on every abuse charge. The new maxim is: "No witness means no probably cause, so no charge." Then a bunch of women are killed by abusers and, guess what, it's the fault of the police!
As to "lazy detectives", sure, I suppose there are some. It might be interesting to compare the amount of money spent on various social services and transfer payments with the amount of money spent on law enforcement, on LE personnel and training. How many detectives do jurisdictions pay for per number of reported crimes and what sort of technical and other support are they getting?
In the county where I live a staff of 22 is dealing with something over a hundred outstanding warrants. That's in addition to normal daily duties.
I think that communities are trying to do policing on the cheap and are often getting what they pay for.
Better ten guilty men walk, than ONE innocent man be wrongly imprisoned. If this results in victims then sorry, but their rights are no greater than the man who is falsely accused, the difference being that they are victimized by the criminals, in the case of the man falsely imprisoned we are all of us the criminals and HE is the victim. Justice is never served by injustices.
