  11 Years for DUI??

  Let's face it being a cop (either side of the pond) provides a certain power and generally attracts people that probably should not be given it. Lying and cheating goes with the territory and added to the us vs. them attitude means nothing good will come of it as they will have the support of the cop community.

  However, 11 years in jail for DUI when there was no victim and only the testimony of one cop? That goes way beyond cruel and unusual punishment! To me this was the most startling part of the story.
