Here in america, when cops do violate the rights of the people they generally get put on "paid administrative leave" (paid vacation) while the department(clearly an objective investigator
) looks into the allegations. As you can imagine, cops can quite literally get away with murder.
Not that i'm saying that all cops, or even more than one-fourth of the police in america are corrupt, power hungry bastards. Just that those who are so inclined can pretty much do whatever they want and get away with it if they do it right.
