Well I did say “impeach police testimony”, although I think grammatically it is actually the witness, not the testimony, which is impeached.
But good to see from those articles posted by jeffster that judges actually do seem to consider seriously the credibility of police testimony, at least some of the time.
That sad thing about this is, the defendant (or accuser in some cases) needs a good lawyer. Legal Aid, self representation, duty council, for example, won't get decent results out of a judge 99% of the time when the police do things wrong.
