It's a fairly short book that'd probably teach you new things. Plus, IIRC you liked public choice theory and the book examines US Justice System & the police with PCT and has good policy recommendations.

Terrible book, but will flatter your priors as stated here. You're dead wrong on this issue, BTW. Happy to explain if you'll let me. Short version is: American cops are a product of American crime. Everything else is noise.

Let's avoid boo words and try to stay specific. Take Hawaii. You at all curious how that famously liberal state came to have such an odd practice? Spoiler: it's because they had a huge prostitution problem. Big problems draw big responses, which yield side effects. Etc.

i dont care if people are prostitutes so giving officers of the law carte blanche to rape them is a pretty clear negative over status quo for me

No one had carte blanche to rape anybody. C'mon, think about that for just a couple minutes and you'll realize it's absurd. Jussie had a more plausible story.

i dont think there's much point in going back and forth about this because we have very different sets of preferences over social ordering

Preferences are something to worry about after you get the basic facts. In this case, you don't have them. Listen to yourself: you believe Hawaii has state sanctioned rape squads. How plausible is that? And why aren't you curious to investigate such an extraordinary claim?
