If a cop breaks the law while on duty — should they be punished MORE harshly than a civilian?

Police, politicians, judges... Should be held at a higher standard.

It’s just an added crime in my book. The original crime gets treated equally but then they need to be charged with abuse of authority.

They should never be able to work as an official again. That's for sure. Doesnt seem to be the case!

It's a MUST .....it's called integrity 🇺🇲 They took an oath, which puts them in honorable knowledge. Thank you to all LEO for putting your life on the line🇺

To whom more power is given, more is required. Period. Ur given the powers of law enforcement, therefore, ur held to a higher standard ESPECIALLY when on duty.

I think if you are an elected, PUBLIC OFFICIAL you should have an open search warrant for your whole term too! You aren't a private citizen once you take office and we need to keep an eye on those SOBS. That's why we have career politicians.

In Singapore a police man would get a sentence one third longer for the same offence as an ordinary citizen

That’s what they told us in the Army.

Imagine a cop robbing a bank on duty. That's pretty heinous. They've been sworn to uphold the law and that scenario would prove how lightly they took their responsibility to do so.

It should depend on WHAT law. If it is a silly "Seatbelt" thing... No. Speeding when not on a call (Not without lights, that is not a thing)... Again, depends. 5 over? No. 100 over? Yes.

An internal investigation would be given and the appropriate punishment would be given by the rules of the department as well as the laws written I imagine. If found guilty should be fired. Peace!

Just something to think about: if a CDL holder has any alcohol in their system it is a dui. They are paid to drive lawfully. If someone is paid to enforce the law, anything that is the antithesis of that principle should be considered especially egregious and therefore should be punished accordingly

Politicians, Judges, Mayors, lawyers anyone that is supposed to uphold the constitution and laws that protect the people should be held at higher standards.

They don't even charge them for committing crimes most of the time. So I'd push for equal treatment, higher standard won't ever be the standard for our police.

I think it depends on whether they weaponized (no pun intended) their power or whether it's not related to their position.

Nobody is above the law. Every cop is aware of law more than a citizen. So yes. If a cop breaks the constitution, the oath, bury them under the jail.
