And cops that behave in that manner can hardly be trusted with regards the initial charges. One can imagine how much intimidation she might have received prior to her guilty plea. Here in Boston we had some cops shoot the wrong guy, when they figured it out they tossed an unregistered, unlicensed hand gun under his car. It was pretty much accepted by every one until the victim's wife approached a lawyer who was a former decorated Boston cop, who smelled a rat and successfully sued the city of Boston.

Any cop as stupid as these three could just as likely carry a small amount of cocaine for just such an occasion and with proper intimidation, a court appointed attorney and enough naivete on the part of the woman arrested she'll plead guilty just to get out of there.

The US has the best judicial system in the world but I think we kid ourselves when we turn our heads when it fails and, from what's obvious from this video, in this case- it did.

These cops deserve to be fired at the very least and the woman deserves to be reasonably compensated for such an assault done under the cover of "law enforcement."
