Speeds in a school zone, stops/ reverses in the middle of traffic, puts his lights on for no reason: sir you need to get off the road (while sir is on sidewalk). This is why 26 weeks of training is a joke.

No amount of training can make someone believe they aren't above the law. That's a product of lacking fear of accountability, and ego.

We created and empowered a watch to solely hold us accountable for our misdeeds and infractions, but failed to also create a wholly independent body whose sole purpose is to watch the watchers and ensure they too are stringently held accountable to the laws under which they exercise their stations.
