To me, that makes them no better than the scum they're supposed to be arresting. It's not their place in inflict punishment on those people, it's the job of the courts and the citizens. I mean, the very definition of "grey area" varies from person to person, so just imagine the results of officers being instructed that they had some "grey area" to work with that afforded them leeway in terms of their treatment of suspects. There's no room for it. Their jobs do not afford them such luxuries.

Whereas I would be calling the police department to voice my utter digust and disdain for the officer(s) at hand.
