i was wondering the same thing last week when a police van w/ 6 officers in it blew a stop light and t-boned a car of school kids in brooklyn... it tossed two kids onto the pavement, and last i heard they were still in the hospital..

I lost a friend about 20 years ago in a similar accident, he was rear ended by
the cop and his car pushed over the abutment of a bridge, the cop was running
80+ and blew one light before striking him. his family sued the department
and subpoenaed the 911 calls as well as the dispatch recordings, the departments
official statement is that is was a tragic accident but unavoidable because
the officer was responding to a call, the recordings showed a different story

the family lost the lawsuit, the officer was suspended with pay and returned to
work after the investigation was completed.

see, thats the issue, they are seldom punished for crimes they can commit, most
cops are decent honest people overall and deserve a decent life and our praise
for a job well done, but the handful that isnt may suffer being fired just
to move on to another department, only a small few are ever jailed for crimes.

Politicians should serve two terms, one in office and one in prison

I think thats what you meant to say 

link to the speech and debate clause please

Quote:

They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

Your right, I am a little bias and maybe shouldn't be. But dont get me wrong, it's not all a free pass not by any means.

I said that about the Politicians, well was a reference to the Spartans and how they thought about those who were in power. Obscured comment yes.
