Isn't this the exact point of Internal Affairs departments?
- ThrustVectoring 9y agoThe point of the internal affairs department is often to appease voters by looking like they're doing something about police corruption. They're incentivized to go after high-profile career making cases, not the run-of-the-mill "cop says one thing and the videotape says another". Making it easy and profitable to take clear-cut cases like this to civil court adds incentives to go after these sorts of things.
- caf 9y agoAs I understand it, Internal Affairs departments tend to be investigatory rather than prosecutorial authorities.
