"I hear what yer sayin factor, I couldn't agree more"
well at least this guy agrees with you ...
but in terms of illegality, we have a saying:
is it worth your pension? is a free meal or perjury to put some crackhead behind bars worth your million dollar pension? the answer is a resounding no.
it puts some distance between officers. you should hear some of the stories the retired guys tell. they weren't out there framing people but it was more of a frat mentality, and we have somewhat lost that aspect of policing.
in everyday work, cops police themselves. and that is the way it should be. i'm not going down for something someone else did. but i'm also not going to go out of my way to turn in some cop for baloney. we have another saying:
nobody likes a rat.
Does your saying apply to everyone, or just other cops?
No, that's the way you wish it could be. Get ready for the world of your every move being recorded.

As I said earlier, your primary duty is to protect and defend our Constitution and our citizens. -- If you think 'ratting out' bad cops conflicts with that duty; -- catch 22, that's a bad attitude for a cop.
Can you understand that reasoning?
with you freely admitting that that is a prevalent "saying"/attitude
why should WE even begin to trust you to "police" yourselves...
it is because of that "stop nitchin'" attitude that is prevalent among the police that we need more people like Brett...
and every municipality should have a Civilian Review Board that actually has "teeth"
