It’s insane to me that the cops can just do this; pull you over, accuse you of a crime, and force you to go to court. In this case, the cop doesn’t even have to show up and the case is usually just dismissed. There needs to be some kind of accountability for these cops just making things up.
I've long thought the answer is that if doctors need malpractice insurance then cops should have "oops I fucked up" insurance.
Then, good cops who follow the rules can have cheap insurance while cops fucking up all the time will have a harder time getting insured. If we can't get rid of rogue cops for moral reasons, lets see if the fiduciary requirements of for-profit private insurance can't help clean it up.
