Falsifying a police report is breaking the law, too...

You seem to be taking this awfully personally. In all likelyhood the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I saw a $30 fine for that in one jurisdiction during the '90s. Police departments seldom bother with with a citation for a false report. Most municipals and counties favor the "nosy neighbors" policy and have done so since the '90s. Feminist influence on civilian police organizations had much to do with it (domestic violence advocates and the like). Whatever keeps them from doing their real job (thefts, trespassing, vandalism, etc.),...
