In more than a third of those cases, the charges were dropped, dismissed, or lost at trial. Because the evidence wasn't there. Because in many cases, video footage directly contradicted what arresting officers put in their reports. John Carlos Frey examines the findings of a landmark ProPublica and PBS FRONTLINE investigation.
