Car parts and soldier's covering for one another from the brass have nothing to do with the law, which should be equally applied to car dealers, mechanics, soldiers, LEO, Congress, POTUS, etc. etc.
It's not, which tells me that, if someone else can do it and get away with it, so can I. Double standard. If we are a Nation of laws, not of men, then the law must apply equally to ALL (wo)men.
I agree with your sentiment, but it's never going to happen.
