Especially in the city of New York, I sincerely believe a police officer butting a reflective vest on the front dashboard of their illegally parked car is enough grounds for immediate dismissal/firing from the job and all retirement seized with no recourse. I don't know how we would make it legal but this is the kind of visible, petty corruption that makes people lose their respect for the system.
replyThat seems a little over the top of a parking infraction... Maybe they should be summarily shot too.
replyI think the point is it's not the parking infraction: it's the attempt to get out of it by signaling that they are a police officer. I agree that kind of thing should be taken more seriously than the small offense it's trying to avoid (though maybe not quite so severely).
replyHow you went from "losing your government job and benefits due to corrupt behavior" and "well, may as well kill them!" is certainly interesting.
replyIts a perfect demonstration of the topic in the thread: loss of privilege is equivalent to ending their life itself
