Maybe because 100% of the time they have zero criminal record, they're gainfully employed, work closely and have ties with the community, and there's very little to zero chance they'll try to flee prosecution? Basically every condition a judge looks at when assessing a bail amount they meet at the most ideal level lol

Lawsuit accuses Gwinnett cop of making falsified arrest for TV show
Elizabeth Leigh Butler of Sugar Hill says Officer Paul Tremblay planted the substance on the floorboard of her car to “show off” for the cameras in an episode of “COPS,” according to the Gwinnett Daily Post.
The substance later tested negative for cocaine, the paper said. Butler’s attorney, John Burdges, told Channel 2 Action News that there is unedited video, showing the officer going to the trunk of his car to get a second test kit.
According to the newspaper, the lawsuit also accuses the production company - Langley Productions - of wrongdoing.
Tremblay arrested Butler outside Lawrenceville First United Methodist Church on Aug. 22, 2013, when she and a friend were talking inside a stopped vehicle.
The Daily Post obtained records showing the charges of loitering and possession of cocaine have been dropped.
On the television footage, Tremblay tells the “COPS” film crew that Butler’s tattoos — a marijuana leaf and a “Grateful Dead bear” — made him suspect her of being a drug user, the Daily Post reported.

Tampa officer cleared of wrongdoing after slamming mom's face to ground
This entire ordeal was over a tinted license plate cover that can be purchased at auto parts stores throughout the state of Florida.
According to Florida Statute 316.605(1),
“…all letters, numerals, printing, writing, and other identification marks upon the plates regarding the word “Florida,” the registration decal, and the alphanumeric designation shall be clear and distinct and free from defacement, mutilation, grease, and other obscuring matter, so that they will be plainly visible and legible at all times 100 feet from the rear or front.”
Despite the low quality of the video, we can see on the officer’s own dashcam that Vargas’ plate was legible.

The Oakland Police Department is investigating one of its officers after a video posted to Facebook over the weekend shows him spitting at the person recording him.
The person who uploaded the video said in the caption the unidentified officer spat on his friend who was the one recording the video on Friday.
The video shows police officers appearing to question a group of people standing outside a car at a gas station.
When the camera swings over to the police officer, he appears to take something out of his mouth and throw it at the person recording, just before he spits at him.

Officer shot his own patrol car, Massachusetts police say
A part-time Massachusetts police officer lied when he said somebody shot at his patrol car, causing it to crash and catch fire, a police sergeant said Thursday.
"We have determined that the officer's story was fabricated," said Mills, Massachusetts, police Sgt. William Dwyer. "Specifically that he fired shots at his own cruiser as part of a plan to concoct a story that he was fired upon."
The officer in question is 24-year-old Bryan Johnson. He is facing charges of misleading a criminal investigation, communicating false information to emergency services, malicious destruction of property over $250 and unlawful discharge of a firearm, according to Mills police.
According to Dwyer, Johnson was a dispatcher who worked part-time and was training to become a full-time officer. He will be fired, the sergeant said.
CNN's efforts to contact Johnson for comment on the charges and allegations have been unsuccessful.
As to his possible motive, authorities haven't said why.
On Wednesday, Johnson reported that a man in a dark pickup truck shot at him, causing his patrol car to spin around, strike a tree and catch fire. The officer said he shot back.
Police conducted an intensive search with members of other law enforcement agencies, firefighters, police dogs and a Massachusetts State Police helicopter.
arrest warrant issued

I appreciate and support police saving babies from hot cars. The doll looked real, behind a tinted window or in the shade of the back seat of a car it could've easily looked like an unresponsive baby passed out from heat exhaustion. Even a few seconds of hesitation could've been the difference between saving it's life or it passing away tragically. They absolutely did the right thing.
