This has nothing to do with “rights”.

Okay, you said that what the prosecution read was some esoteric thing that lies between an assertion and a fact.
The notes themselves are not fabricated; I'm sure they're exactly what the police officer wrote down. The substance of the notes is biased because of what they want the outcome of the case to be. For example, they may write "subject was argumentative and belligerent", but they will not write "subject was calm and polite". They are not an impartial record of what happened.
No need to be upset. You tend to see things from a prosecutorial standpoint and I tend to see them from the eyes of the defense. We're different.
