I still agree with the GP's point.

Unless there is some penalty to be paid by the officers for breaking the rules, the abuses will continue.

If they start having to pay damages out of their personal assets or getting sent home without pay, they'll get the message.

Until that happens, the status quo will continue.

They get sent home with pay when they shoot an unarmed person - I doubt anything will happen if they seize a laptop without justification.
