Florida Officer Caught Planting Evidence

6. Think of all of the money these people had to pay for their criminal defense!

An arrest for drugs negatively impacts a person in so many ways even if later proven innocent. The fact that there have not been criminal charges against this officer for drugs, perjury, abuse of official government authority... is criminal in and of itself! The D.A., by dismissing all of those cases has a duty to at least investigate the officer and/or take the case to a Grand Jury for an indictment.

Due to the inherent conflict of interest between the D.A.'s office and the police department working together to prosecute criminal cases, they should not be the ones to decide whether or not to prosecute. We need a special prosecutor's office to investigate and prosecute cops accused of wrongdoing in each state. That should be the only job of this proposed special prosecutor's office. They would have no allegiance to any local police department and their results could be judged by their performance overall.
