It might not look like much on the surface, but they have a certain psychological profile that predicts other traits. Of course it isn't always accurate that wannabe cops have a certain trait such as racism, but it's true often enough that investigators use a profile to make assessments of a person's character and arrive at often very accurate conclusions about them. Wannabe cops very often have psychological issues, such as a strong desire to have authority and power, that make them commit certain serious crimes. Maybe it isn't the best evidence, but it's a very strong indicator.
