This is one of the most serious crimes possible, and for it to be done by a part of the legal system, means that the Chief should start with a mandatory sentence, with the possibility of it getting much worse.

Cops seem to get off easier, when in reality they should be held to a higher standard than the general public, when it comes to unlawful acts.
