The police exist to uphold and enforce law in order to protect the safety and general wellbeing of communities. The failure to follow procedure and to act on behalf of the best interests of citizens can be classified as police neglect. Sometimes, police neglect can be so severe that procedure is blatantly ignored. All citizens have rights and by becoming an informed citizen, individuals can understand when their rights have been violated.
Even unintentional procedural missteps when the police neglect to read an individual their rights is cause for dropped charges. Arrests are made when enough evidence of probably cause has been found, and regardless of the validity of the charges, if the police neglect to follow procedure a judge can choose to throw out the entire case. Every person has a right to an attorney and the legal representative can help ensure the individual understands his/her legal rights and options.
Laws exist to uphold society to function in the best way possible, but also to make sure all individuals have rights. While getting a case thrown out because the police neglected to file papers correctly or to proceed with the case in the proper way may seem petty in some instances, penalizing the justice system for violating sometimes minor procedures reinforces the importance of individual rights.
