In the USA our courts have something called 'Good Faith'. They take the word of law enforcement on 'Good faith' because they are official officers of the law. Chain of custody broken on your evidence? Well, the court will take it on 'good faith' that the police department still did things right, because otherwise they would have to throw out the case, and in the USA there is nothing worse than that. Video evidence that conflict with officer testimony? Most times the court with side with 'good faith' in the officer's testimony. Go look up 'good faith' in Lexus/Nexus and read some crazy court cases.
