    Getting caught lying on a police report should have some kind of professional consequences like you don’t get to be a police officer anymore, are charged with some kind of relevant crime, and are put into a correctional facility where the other people who are there know who you are and what you did. Your actions including your name photograph and professional history should also get published in the newspaper so we can make sure that it’s basically unconscionable to hire you as a police officer ever again.

    How could the officer not see the parked car, necessitating an unnecessary evasive maneuver? Because he was surprised by it. Why was he surprised by a stationary object? Were his eyes on something other than the road, like maybe his phone?

    its understandable. you know how when you regularly go to a place you just space out about driving there because you do it so often.
