I like this trend of holding politicians and police officers accountable when they cross the line. I don't mean the accident part of this story, I mean the falsified report.
Here is NYS, there has been a crackdown on the politicians and a few got caught up, charged and had to step down. They are even losing their pensions due to greed, abuse of their authority or even blatant disregard for the laws.
Sadly, all this matters little to the victim and their families but it's a start. Stories like this restore my faith in humanity.
I'd like to think that there are far more good guys out there and only a small handful ruin it for the rest.
