This is not true. Police officers do not base their actions on a particular interpretation of the law, but rather on the rules and procedures set down by their department, with the oversight and input of the District Attorney and the Attorney General. The reason why the system was designed this way is to prevent (and relieve) police officers from making legal interpretations, which is the proper function of the courts.
