In my wishlist of accountability I want a tree of liability
For example, the partners are automatically accomplices and liable
Any discrepancy in police reports and footage/evidence triggers the same civil violation and criminal violation
this is useful because now we dont need all the fanfare of going to trial just to find out the actual aggression was called it ‘justified’ using an opaque standard
control behavior by regulating the intermediary. In this case I can think of many more intermediaries that civil and criminal liability can extend to for the actions of one bad apple
partner, department, union, pension, municipality
and an offenders list that follows the officer ideally to keep them off of the neighboring town’s force, and ostracized from most living arrangements
I think of nodes in a graph, the officer being one node, but now all the surrounding nodes at risk of being affected will keep the one officer in line, and demand reforms in the department for greater than citizens, judges or the legislature can do
I was also thinking to involve the federal government. Municipalities ability to raise capital becoming much more expensive based on how their officers act
