"This is where the body was laying after he drug it away."

After years of watching true crime programming, I have to believe that police officers and detectives are among the most illiterate of professions. They almost never seem to know the difference between laying and lying, and they all seem to be under the impression that drug is a past tense of drag. I admire the crime-fighting work they do, but I wish they would pursue the English language with more zeal.
