    The answer to the case given in the question is a phenomenon called the blue curtain or blue wall of silence.

    This refers to a term used in the United States where police officers would not report her or his police officer colleagues who have done any errors, misconducts, or crimes. It is clear from the case that the two patrol officers were committing misconduct by not paying the owner of the coffee shop, but the plain clothed police officer did not say anything.
