Most people including many in tech firms that build tools based off IP to Geo lookups don't actually understand the inaccuracies inherent in the process. I actually spent a couple of weeks not so long ago trying to get data on accuracy benchmarks from tech firms in China. Initially they didn't even understand the question - they just used a standard database provided by someone else which is treated as Gospel. So I'm not too surprised non tech people like police make this mistake.
