>I've seen a policeman write a crime report. He cherry picked and refurbished facts in a way that AI would have blushed. If you read more than a couple, just as a casual person that follows a case or two online, it's immediately obvious that they essentially copy/paste or use templates for basically all of them. The reports often state 'facts' that they 'observed' that obviously didn't happen, which are the same things they've happened to observe at every traffic stop or similar interaction. Their testimony in trials is often similar, where they are just repeating canned phrases that may or may not actually be relevant to the specific case. The use of dash cam and body cam footage, as well as trial footage as made it obvious how often this is the case. Their recollections at trial almost never match the footage, and don't match in way where it's obvious that they are fabricating their testimony not just being fuzzy on which details they remember.
