I’m skeptical that there is a majority of police who aren’t willing to break the law.

Given how rarely police blow the whistle on other police, I’d say there’s evidence that the majority are actively unlawful.

In their mind they are the law.

SCOTUS has made many rulings that cops both know and regularly ignore. There's hundreds of videos online of police threatening a camera person with arrest if they don't provide ID and then blinding or obstructing the camera. All three of those have been explicitly ruled on and leave no question, yet they continue to do it en masse.

“I smell marijuana” is probable cause… it’s been weakened recently, but probable cause doesn’t have to be proven. “Bloodshot eyes” is another one that works for DUI cause.
