Quote by: Okieslims  Have you ever heard the phrase "professional courtesy'? I work with police officers and have personally witnessed officers receiving breaks based on "professional courtesy" on several occasions. Officers technically are still subject to punishment for violating the law, but are rarely punished.
I brought this up to point out that just because a prosecutor "can be" punished, does not mean he will be. There are inner circles in every field. If you work at 7-11, you might get to "weeze the juice", if you work at a hospital, docs will write you prescriptions, if you work as a maintenance guy at a university, you get first dibs on all the crap spoiled rich kids leave behind at years end, if you work as a part of law enforcement, you get to bend the law more than citizens do. These are all professional courtesies. They may not be right, but thats how this world works. |
See what you fail to see, primarily because you are hopelessly on the left, is that much of what a prosecutor does is recorded in one way or another and much is publicly documented and available. The legal field has a higher degree of responsibility than pretty much every other profession.
The Profession Rules of Conduct goes well above and beyond the law. Lawyers go through vigorous schooling to become a lawyer and losing ones license is a very scary thought to every lawyer. And if you think that defense lawyers will let a rogue prosecutor go unchecked, then you are again hopelessly on the left. Investigative reporters love "anonymous" tips on prosecutor corruption.
Go to the below site and then see if lawyers are sanctioned and punished. You might be pleasantly surprised!
