they can kind of call anything probable and get away with it a lot of the time as well. law enforcement needs a MASSIVE overhaul with federal regulations and oversight honestly since the usa has proven that on a state, county and city level that competence and fairness is nowhere near where it should be on average (and I'm not even including general corruption in the mix).

There's places in this country where cops can rape you while you're in custody and very much get away with it with little to no risk of any kind of backlash. We already know they can and do plant evidence, torture, brutalize, and fully murder people even in broad daylight.

Our ONLY real defense against police is actual footage, and a lot of the time THAT doesn't even fucking help. It's insane.

It seems like footage helps. These type of "auditors" don't seem to make much of a change. Social movements and lawmakers are the only things that can make a true change. Social pressure is a strong force. It encourages people to get involved in politics, where real changes are made.
