If they killed someone, they would, at the least, be subjected to blood tests - that's the law - to determine if they were drunk or otherwise impaired. They'd also expect, at the least, a proseuction for reckless homidice, if not manslaughter. They'd also be sued, and hope that their insurance company defended. (And in a fatality, they'd be told that their insurance may not be enough to cover all the judgement.) All things that officers don't face. And my mistakes don't generally costs the taxpayers money. How much have city taxpeyers paid out in just the last five years on these wrecks? How many fatalities? I doubt that all the other officers in the state have killed as many people as LPD/LMPD alone in the last five years in traffic wrecks.
