No, bit there’s certainly dirty cops in every department. Calling out a blatant bad egg across the country isnt going to lose him his job.
I had a run in locally where a cop was trying to instigate me when i was not breaking any laws. I called the chief and he asked me the name of the officer which i did not have at the time, and As I described the situation, he says “i know who it is”... just by his bad actions. Hmmm....
Definitely this. I had an Incident a few years back. My inlaws have a weekly dinner gathering. We had my wife ,SIL, BIL, and MIL in an apartment having dinner. TV was on but not loud. Neighbors had a party and police got called. Officers got the unit number wrong and showed up to our dinner. They demanded everyone leave except the lease owners. They didn't even try to ask questions or be polite. Just knocked and then started issuing orders.
My inlaws were going to comply. I went to the officers asked for a badge number, what authority they had to give orders, what evidence they had against us, what law they were citing, and asked them to call my lawyer( I have a legal shield type service I subscribe to, nothing fancy). They left. 10mins later they came back and apologized for having the wrong unit.
There are many companies that provide different versions of the service and it's best to research what fits your needs the most.
Think of it like Lawyer insurance. You pay a monthly fee in case you need a lawyer. Most services will talk to cops via phone. Some may even deploy a lawyer to you depending on the situation. If you need a contract reviewed they will do it. If you need a legal letter sent they will do it.
The plan I have has a cap on court time which increases the longer I'm a member. I also get a card that has their number and instructions for any cops that may be detaining or arresting me. It's come in handy from time to time. I've never been arrested, but I've had to deal with cops stepping out of line, shitty landlords, and one time a threat from my cable company. All handled for me. I also have an LLC that that provides some side money. And they help with customer disputes too.

Always get their badge number in those situations. As soon as you ask for it watch their eyes get real big.

It's a nice peace of mind service to have.
