Hey're supposed to be unified in the field...

That's horrifying, and sends out a message that cops acting illegally, abusing their power is a-okay for the other cops just standing there looking like a bunch of jackwagons.

The other cops should have done their job and apprehended the guy trying to use his power to commit a crime.

But then again, the attempt to get unconsented blood from the off-duty cop that was injuries in the crash caused by the badly handled high speed chase, was trying to get something incriminating from the blood report just in case a lawsuit would happen. So they're all corrupt cops.
