I am confused as to why the police doesn't put more work into finding the people doing this, it is a waste of resources to be called on a fake call. It also makes people loose trust in the police, and generates bad PR.

They’re untouchable, why would they prevent themselves from harassing innocent people?

They don't care, they got to bust down a door and shout at people, that's all that matters to the pigs.
