They could even sue if their careers are obviously derailed by this "cloud".<BR/><BR/>However, most crooks reoffend, especially if they never get the jail time to stop and change their ways, so if they were bad cops, they'll be caught again.<BR/><BR/>I don't like the idea of legislated timelines, but they do need to speed up and streamline the system. I really dislike the plea bargains that are done to unclog the system, rather than to deal with the special cases where normal trials would not be the best way to handle a case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-25942355458508715212008-02-06T20:16:00.000-05:002008-02-06T20:16:00.000-05:00Did you mean "viscious circle"?Sheesh, yeah.
