The primary goal of Every - Single - Detective - is too get the case closed (by closed I mean sent to the DA). Then it is 'off the board' and no longer counts against them. They are unproductive and poorly rated if they keep a case open too long. Therefore the incentive isn't on justice or guilt, but on finding the easiest person to charge and building a case around that person to make them look guilty to the prosecutor. That is why 99/100 cops and prosecutors advise people to answer questions only on the advice of an attorney.If you are concerned this let's criminals off, then you should be concerned about changing the system so that the police are encouraged to seek justice not just close a case by focusing on the easiest suspect; and amend the rules of evidence that tips the scales of justice to the prosecution.
