When Gossip Is a Commodity: what consequences for misleading investigation$

When gossip is your commodity you can always find employment with some "Ranger Rick" and their crusade to meet quotas and or carry out politically motivated targeting to try and silence an outspoken citizen(s) exercising life, liberty & the pursuit of #happy_ness that Ranger Rick's zealot like beliefs doesn't find charming for his crusade's public perception.

So when law enforcement base investigations off of "anonymous" informants / sources and they do nothing more than smear the good name of the #target and or, worse, like Nick Gillespie's outstanding courageously brave & honest reporting uncovers in his Reason Magazine (ReasonTV) piece = where an 80 year old man gets shot to death in the privacy of his own home by police who working hard to make a drug bust based on an "anonymous" informant who claimed they smelled drugs coming from the home (WTF?!) and somehow that was good enough for some doll to ruberstamp a search warrant which resulted in 0 drugs found and another innocent life ruined & wasted by the ever so epic failure that's now coming clear is the "holy war" for zealot "anti drug" law enforcement crusaders on its own citizens. All they need is a "suspicion."

Seriously?!

Reason is being suspicious of their tireless value(s) of suspicion.

So are there any consequences for misleading investigations that at the least smear the #target and waste tax payer money in doing so (it takes resources to relentlessly case someone looking for anything to upgrade a target to another "valued" level) and, then, worse #case scenario resulting in death(s) of a suspicious-less "priority" target?!

What?! Do you mean anonymous sources are not always accurate, truthful & can lead to wrongful investigations & even deaths?!..

"an anonymous informant, spearheaded the investigation." ...
