This is hardly news. Until we put in real consequences for both police and judges who intentionally misbehave or oftentimes fail at their job, none of this will change. Here's an idea: penalize the cop for every false positive. Docking pay seems to be the best idea here. I guarantee drug dogs' accuracies will go up nationwide within weeks (or however long it takes to retrain dogs and their masters). Every 5 or 10 false positives, dock the cop extra pay or reprimand him. Problem solved. Here's another idea: hold judges accountable for police actions in the courtroom. If the police lie on the stand, and it's shown that the judge had "probable cause" the judge should be fired. The collusion problem between police and judges, what the article is referring to tough maybe not explicitly, will go away as well. Problem solved. tl;dr: The only way to keep the police in check is to make them suffer real consequences for fucking up. This will never happen in the US because the citizens here have no idea about the atrocities the police are comitting and the police prefer to keep it that way.
