They don’t care if you “formalize” anything. This is a trivial matter to them and everyone else. Look how comfortable they are beating people and think about whether a complaint about a very poor job on a police report matters to them, to the DA????

In the case where the detective lied, he was protecting himself. He claimed that he found a substantial piece of evidence on his first visit like he should have. But I found it after he left and called and a deputy came out and impounded it. It is very easy to prove that he lied. But, that was an arson and I found out that if there wasn’t potentially money in it for the insurance company they pretty much weren’t going to do much investigating anyway.

In the recent case, the report writing itself was incompetence. Pure incompetence. The statement about saying I said it only happened once , when it happened 3 times really makes me wonder if manipulation wasn’t involved for one reason or another. Probably just incompetency. Hard to believe, but probably true. Maybe they like to wreck cases before they get started.
I thought for a while , maybe they write it badly to test my story…but I doubt that too…in this case anyway.
