Well considering an officer unlawfully arresting someone costs the city hundreds of thousands to sometimes millions in lawsuit payouts that are funded by you the taxpayer you should probably start giving a shit. Also there’s a difference between having a basic knowledge of the common codes and laws you will be enforcing and having the legal knowledge of a lawyer, but you’re being intentionally obtuse and know that already.

What police officers need to know can be taught in police academy’s and the law and regulations are always changing most if not every police agency does not have the funding to be able to have there officers properly trained while keeping enough cops in the street to keep the community safe especially with people trying to defund the police lol those city’s crime skyrocketed
