It is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer

The purpose of the police should be to protect the innocent, not to punish the guilty. When the police are victimize the innocent, they are not serving a useful function in society. In many cases when police arrest and charge an innocent person, they are leaving the guilty one free to further plague society.
