And can we mention artificial copspeak?

“The suspect exited his vehicle”, when he got out out of his car

I remember a particular example from a book about Newhall because I actually discussed this with a friend with 25 years LE experience:

“The officers acquired a visual on the suspects’ vehicle.”

My friend said that one year out of the academy he’d have written that too. Ten years later he’d just have put that they saw the car.
