That is an abuse of power.... of course they would go down for murder like any criminal would.
That's why we have internal affairs, cops do break laws too.

How come when a cop gets caught doing these things, they get a paid vacation instead of prison time?
No, I don't have a problem with a cop pulling me over, as long as I'm doing something that warrants it, like speeding. I do have a problem with being pulled over for no reason and being asked for my proof of citizenship.

They got prison.. murder = prison, and if the others committed a crime, they got into trouble as well, drugs though doesn't always mean prison - it means rehab... they didn't get a slap on the wrist though.
Again.. the 10,000's of good they do far out weights the bad.. it isn't perfect in any country.
And no worries... a cop would never ask you or any English speaking person that can provide a DL for proof of citizenship.
