Do Police Officers always follow rules?

     One thing that has always bothered me are hypocrites. Everyone has been one in their life and sometimes it's hard not to but it does happen and it really does irritate me. The main one's that bother me are police officers. Many police officers arrest people for drunk driving every night. How is it fair that those people go to jail for drinking and driving but when police officers drink and drive nothing happens? It's not! How often do you see a cop texting and driving? I've seen it too many times. If it was any other person they would get a ticket for it but most police officers seem to automatically think just because they are cops they can do what they want. And the worst part of it all is that you see it when they are on duty.

This is an article of a police officer who was caught drunk driving. In this particular article the officer was arrested because he did harm someone else. I feel like if he did not harm anyone and was just pulled over for driving poorly that the officer would not have given him a ticket. Not all police officers are this way but it is important for those people to make the right decisions if they are treating people who don't the way they do. It's just respect.
