According to the author Steve Albrecht cops consider being able to break the law a job perk.
Here is a snip of the part of the article where this police officer admits him and his fellow cops are corrupt to the core.
Do cops give other cops tickets? Rarely – unless the off-duty officer is a jackass and embarrasses his comrade into citing him out of spite. Cops letting other cops go on cites is long part of our culture. Full disclosure: I have badged my way out of speeding tickets. (You probably have, too. And you probably have nodded a fellow officer back on his way, too.)Not getting a ticket is our only form of “employee discount” for this job. If your neighbor works at the big orange supply store, he gets a discount on chainsaws that you don’ get because you don’t work there.
But what about the other not-so grey areas? What about officers who never pay for their dry cleaning? How about cops who get free apartment rents with the promise they will provide “security” at the complex for parties or situations where on-duty officers would usually respond?
How about the officers who treat the convenience stores on (and off) their beats as if they owned the joints? Those cops load up on mass quantities of sandwiches, soda and beer by the 12-pack (for after work, of course). These same officers tend to only patronize restaurants where the food is free or at a minimum, the Big Five-O discount is given.
