Not only that, but they're also adding to the calls to dispatch (imagine if it was centralized at this point) and making the police work even more overtime so they can check out the false accusations.
Some people just think they're above the law. Just because you have a badge doesn't mean you MAKE the laws, you enforce them, even on yourself. You're expected to perform at a higher level.
