I think you answered your own question. "going to the washroom". It seems unlikely that a police officer is going to radio the police station to say, "I gotta go to the bathroom," each time they need to relieve themselves.

Not with that attitude, no. But if that is too much to ask of them, in light of why it's needed, why should they be cops? If it's too much for us to ask it from them, how are we citizens? I'm not American, but it's not like I'm happy with the state of things in my "own" country either, and feel those things, those responsibilities, are rather universal. If you don't practice singing, and never sing, you're not a singer, and if it was written in your passport that you are anyway that would just show that letters can't help the order they get arranged in. If we put up with this kind of stuff, we're not being citizens in any sense I would find valuable, no matter what else we might do or enjoy. For every cop planting evidence and being as dumb about it as this one, how many are never found out? How many people rot in jail as we speak or are dead because of that? And does anyone remember Colin Powell's WMD presentation in front of the UN? So they didn't "plant evidence", but really, if this is the top, and if it's accepted by millions of people, what's a cop planting some drugs or killing some incapacitated people in self-defense? I'm not saying one excuses the other, but the fish does stink from the head, too.
