Yes, i know

Quote From: the_unknown

A conviction only serves the good of the public if the correct person is apprehended.  So their job (if done properly) is not simply to get some conviction.  If they go for the easy conviction of a "patsy" they do the public a disservice.  You see, it's the same "easy way out" you see in other professions.  But the damage done in this profession is severe.

 

 

I realize that.  But a lot of cops just want to close a case and get the conviction.  Their job is to bring a perp to justice and close the case so that they can mire thru the 10 billion other cases they have to solve.  Yeah, it's the easy way out and doesn't serve the public if the wrong man is incarcerated because the guilty party is still at large.
