There has to be a component of individual responsibility. I agree the City Leaders are ultimately responsible but there is already a law against planting evidence. If the cop doesn’t pay a criminal and civil penalty there is nothing to stop them.

I agree.

It's the elected District Attorney who decides whether or not to file charges and prosecute the case.

If the electors don't hold him responsible, then no one will.

I might also add that his 'brother' goons, er, officers also probably knew about his illegal actions and did nothing.
