      Well, my broader point is that you can’t curtail abuses by professional groups if there arent consequences. The most straightforward way of creating that consequence, is, to me, to make it have some cost to them directly.

      If a police departments paychecks all went down because their idiot new hire decided they needed to violate some ones civil rights, I can assure you that the department would very quickly find a way to regulate their members behavior.

        Put your example in a restaurant - the new hire drops someone’s meal so you lose a percentage of your pay check?

        Ridiculous, unfair, dumb, illegal.

        What you’re advocating makes sense at the heart of it, but it would be much better to cost the police department as a whole for civil suits and things deemed immoral/illegal etc by some outside governing body. You can’t take away people’s paychecks based on the actions of individuals in a job. I’m on night shift and day shift Larry arrests a black guy because he didn’t like the look of him and now I’m down $20?

        The fuck?

          See, working as intended. You would be fucking pissed and I bet Larry would fucking hear it, not just from you but from every one else too. Larrys’ not gonna fuck around next are they?

          The system works.
