Should have jailed her.

Just as crimes against police officers attract higher sentence's than those against Jo Public. Crimes committed by them should be treated more seriously.

Those that uphold the law should bloody well obey it.

How come she's still a Police officer now that she has a criminal record?

The police and Judiciary are quick enough on making examples out of Taxi drivers being as they are professionals..why should Police crimes not merit the same.

Going by the last paragraph she won't be for long
