LEOs commit plenty of crimes, but they tend to be in the areas of official misconduct or domestic abuse. Anyone who is interested can easily come up with a list of LEO offenses that are currently in the news, like this: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=32878" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Every profession has a degree of crime that is related to the privileges and risks of that profession. I could probably alienate everybody by coming up with another list.

I have the data on LEO's obtained form TCLEOSE, but I don't publish it. It doesn't help CHL's and I don't want it used to attack LEO's. (I'm not saying you would do that Seamus.)

Chas.
Not to disparage LEO's, but I would imagine that alot of that data is massaged in the first place. The "final" statistics may be classified in a more positive light than they might actually be. All bureaucracies have a tendency to do that.
