i don't think they are treated unfairly most of the time, they know the law and the consequences of breaking the law, and no one should be above the law, especially those you enforce it.
Hi Joe, yes I was a cop and now, for the past 15 years I have been a volunteer interpreter assisting people who need police help (occasionally when they don't too, but need help anyway because they have been arrested). Several of those whom I have recruited to help in the same way are former officers from the UK. WE do not get anything for our work, not even expenses or a free cuppa. WE just do it to help those who need it. So maybe we are not all B++++ds

I have never and would never say anyone should be treated any favorably before the law, but that does apply to everyone. Certain professions should be looked at differently, police, teachers etc, although some of those, Lawyers, medical profession MPs etc are self policing, unlike the police who are investigated by the Independent Police Authority, which may have resulted in more equal treatment for some officer than previous when the police were self policing. Just a view.
