Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise

Forces across England and Wales employ policemen and women with convictions including burglary, causing death by careless driving, robbery, supplying drugs, domestic violence, forgery and perverting the course of justice. [More]

Hey, at least theirs get convictions.
That they choose to do nothing about the conviction is another matter, but the conviction is a start.
Ours don't even get convictions, so our numbers are obviously lower.
Yay us?

Here is a search and seizure case you should enjoy reading about:

I love (not really) the comments from cops at the link and on their Facebook story about the article. Here is a sample:

"if their doing drugs who cares if it violates their rights :)"

As a retired officer, it pains me to see just how many idiots are currently employed in the field today.
