How? Honestly, to have a society that prosecuted every arguably "false" (or even just "mistaken") fact in a police report would require dozens more prosecutors, tens of more judges, and hundred of thousands (or more) in taxes.The truth should not be for sale. Rewarding people for making false claims is wrong. It may make financial sense but only because no one is willing to prosecute for filing false reports and/or perjury.
I'm sorry but it is wrong. It's a racket that costs more tax dollars in the long run.
And consider this - how many officers get everything exactly correct in reports? Each mistake would then run the risk of that officer being prosecuted.
