Police deal often with people who have long histories of arrest and so I think there's also a perverse component of, like, sure it's possible they're innocent of this particular crime, but we're not dealing with an innocent person, more broadly.

That sounds like it would be pretty bad at motivating that person to quit committing crimes if they're going to be guilty whether they did it or not.

I didn't say that what the police are doing is good or effective. In fact I called it perverse.

Though I also think that line of thinking is dangerous, if that was all it was they'd still realize they occasionally make mistakes.
