I would press charges. I have seen multiple times police being shady, including one time when I was pulled over and told I could either pay the officer $40, or go into the court house for an $80 ticket. Supposedly I was speeding the road back, but I didn't even drive on the road they were talking about... Another time I turned in $2,000 I found in an envelope and asked when I could pick it up if no one claimed it. Called back a couple weeks later and they had no record of it. Point being, police officers (in my opinion) are no better than anyone else, they could be good or bad, but you need to help keep them in check.
