Why in error? The officer clearly shows it to the perp and other officer and places it in the wallet. Since it is likely he found it on the ground, the intent would be to keep it from blowing away. Showing it to the other officer and the perp was just to identify it and show why it was put in the billfold.
Do you think this officer just carried around cocaine so he could plant it on this guy, who was a paragon of virtue ? Given the crimes the guy had just committed, why would he even care to plant drugs on the perp?

That’s a bit of a stretch there, FRiend. Cops are supposed to put evidence in evidence bags.
“Do you think this officer just carried around cocaine so he could plant it on this guy, who was a paragon of virtue ? Given the crimes the guy had just committed, why would he even care to plant drugs on the perp? “
Well I have a Black friend who was a LAPD officer in San Pedro for ten years. He left the force because of the abuse his department brought on black people in which they came into contact.
I am not saying that I believe that Blacks are responsible for a disproportionate number of crimes, they are, and probably this guy who was arrested was good for something. But that does not mean the cops get to “manufacture evidence.”
Never talk to the cops is good advice. They are not your friend when they stop you.
