    The idea that the police must be held above suspicion and assumed heroic is one of the worst things that can happen to good law enforcement. Good law enforcement requires the public to always be scrutinizing the cops.

      If some random Redditors are to be believed the film actually paints the police in a semi positive light. There are a few bad cops but supposedly at the end most of the cops are shown to be acting with integrity.

        Okay.

        But the thing about defamation lawsuits is that the plaintiff (Miami PD) has to show and demonstrate that it’s in fact defamation. Mostly that comes down to lying about it and causing reputational harm.

        The defendants (or rather a team if interns owned by their lawyers,) gets to go into the the plaintiffs records to discredit those claims.

        In other words, the lawyers will get an all-access pass to Miami PD’s normally confidential files detailing extensive corruption. Because let’s be honest, there’s corruption there.

        They’ll drop it before it gets to discovery.

    Gee, sure sounds a lot like what they did to Afroman. This must be a new tactic spreading amongst the police union to crush public criticism since just not committing crimes as police officers seems to be too lofty of a goal.

      It’s the current right wing bitch move where they sue anyone that is critical of them. Most judges will throw it out but there’s a chance that they will get a MAGA judge that will bend over backwards with flimsy excuses for the right wingers.

          I find it hilarious that I know what her house looks like but don’t know a single one of her songs. Given that she wanted to hide the former and as an artist, probably wanted everyone to be exposed to the latter.

            This may be generational. There is not likely to be much intersection between the group of people who listened to Streisand and those who listen to Swift.

        My tinfoil hat theory is that song was created to try to push down page rankings when searching for the source of the Streisand effect. Much like Boris Johnson and his model bus painting.
