Trabisnikof posted:Both of those are currently the law, correct? Officers don't have to turn in reports if the report might describe illegal behavior and falsifying police or government documents is a criminal offense in most states, right? I'd imagine this will vary widely among jurisdictions, but the real question isn't whether or not they are allowed/required to turn in blank reports, but whether or not they'll actually be punished for turning in false reports. Especially given that a report isn't an empirical proof, it's a witnessed accounting of an event from a single perspective. Even without knowingly lying about the content of a report, it's easy to imagine how 2 or more officers' reports could vary considerably - should you punish whichever was more false, and under what circumstances?

I don't think anyone in this thread will defend Arpaio. Dude represents the worst of the worst of American law enforcement, it's amazing he is still in office.
