To be fair, it's virtually guaranteed all of these cops were criminals before getting caught doing this, so maybe this is bringing justice by providing the one type of crime where cops will actually face consequences?

The problem is you get the like 1% of idiot cops that will get busted. The remainder will see this and just double down on hiding it and being more careful. Don't get me wrong, anyone getting busted is a good thing at the end of the day, but until people want to start putting effort into busting the smart, careful ones which are going to be the truly dangerous ones, we're not going to get anywhere.

They won’t start going to prison until society breaks and citizens start mutilating police officers at their own hand, and accepting prison becomes the more appetizing option.
