I'll lay a bet that the policemen were too busy 'inspecting' the adult books they probably found in Michiyoshi's bag to pay much attention to their prisoner.

Letting people get away? Maybe it saves paperwork. Who knows. Maybe it's just pure incompetence. Where's Cleo to give her side of how well the police do. What are the excuses her copper daughter give her? We are waiting.

Michihisa escaped through a door in the police cell using a key that was on a guard’s desk before the guard noticed that he was missing.

How did he get the key? Maybe he picked it up when they were putting him into the cell(?) Sounds strange.
