Furthermore, they would find it very difficult indeed to ask the police to change the wording when it is not accurate.”

So the court would not have seen this as unjust and discounted it?

You don't end up with heavily corrupt police forces without similarly corrupt court systems working in tandem . You're posting evidence against your own stance at this point.
