Create incentives to behave ethically.
Like putting cops who kill unarmed children on trial, for one.
Sentence prosecutors who tamper with evidence behind bars for more than 10 days, for another.
We could withdraw funding from the FBI when it wrongfully convicts people.
Every time a prisoner is exonerated, the prosecutor and law enforcement personnel who put them behind bars should be investigated.
Confiscate property only when the owner has been convicted of a crime.
We could end prohibition, yet again. Eliminate private prisons. Stop tying police funding to tickets, fines and confiscations. Stop tying police and prosecutorial career advancement to successful convictions and instead maybe tie it to fewer crimes?
Police and prosecutorial misconduct should be among the most thoroughly investigated and strictly punished crimes on the books. We should instill a culture of law enforcement as humble public servants who are held to higher standards, not thugs who are above the law.
