Hm, thats actually a intelligent argument, so il reply.
It is known that there have been many corrupt police officers, however that depends on your definition, do I think police officers should be allowed to confiscate drugs and sell them? Hell NO!
Do I think its fair for them to get out of speeding tickets? Well it comes with the job, let it be noted though other officers arnt the only people who catch breaks, teachers and docters are almost always cut breaks as well.
I can't speak for all law enforcement agencys, I do agree everything should be by the book and everyone better be damn sure before you charge someone with a life changing crime, felonys, sexual abuse, ect.
I worked with township police, and I will say that we were a great example of what I believe police officers to be. Charges were generally not filed unless it was obviously needed. Most domestic situations handled between those involved with us acting as mediators.
I will give an example, take it how you may. I know some will disagree.
We responded to a call one time, there had been an accident were a teenager had been mishandling a pellet gun and it discharged and hit a much younger child accross the street.
Needless the say the teenager could have been in severe trouble, but it was ruled it was a careless mistake and the parents of the younger child agreed.
charges were not filed and instead the teenager helped the other family with yard work and I believe he agreed to walk the younger child home from school.
I guess it depends on the area you live, which dictates how the office in your town operates and of course effects how the officers are going to handle things. My advice is to move to a smaller town, generally speaking officers operate differently out of big cities.
the people that hated are large enough to make thier own guild, why put up with so much crap:/
