A police dog who cried drugs at every traffic stop

I was just answering the parent by saying that no, police do not need to have financial incentives to make up cases and lock up innocents; and therefore there stills needs to be a way to punish corrupt police officers and departments even if those incentives do not exist.

Obviously financial incentives are a key motivator for many people in forces as well, I was only saying that this can happen even if there is no money to make.

Ah, thanks for clarifying. No doubt racism can explain arrests and undue charges, but the context of the thread is about institutional extortive practices (bail loans, etc). So we still need “financial incentives” to explain these extortive practices.
