6 Cops arrested for corruption in Australia

I think most would agree that there should be more of this, cops arresting corrupt cops.

Six South Australian plain clothes police officers have been arrested following a joint investigation by the SA Police Anti-Corruption Branch and the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption (ICAC).

a 53-year-old man from Darlington charged with abuse of public office and aggravated theft.
a 43-year-old man from Aberfoyle Park charged with two counts of abuse of public office, two counts of theft, and property damage.
a 38-year-old man from Woodcroft charged with two counts of abuse of public office, two counts of aggravated theft and property damage.
a 33-year-old man from Camden Park charged with abuse of public office and aggravated theft.
a 31-year-old woman from Sellicks Beach charged with abuse of public office, aggravated theft and property damage.
a 27-year-old woman from Woodcroft charged with abuse of public office and aggravated theft.

I had a friend from WA who said the cops knew about the drug dealing population and didn't care. I think I remember him saying they were in on the drug dealing or drug users themselves. Unrelated to this SA incident but go figure, must be a rural town thing.

We call those offenses "Tuesday". I think Australia needs some police unions and a lot more propaganda.

Didn't know abuse of public office was an offence. Wonder what the penalty is for it? Probably just a small fine and a resignation from the job. The penalty should a rubber stamp penalty of 5 years in prison given that gvernments are fond of rubber stamp laws these days.

Police here aren't how they used to be everything is becoming more and more corrupt, not to say that it didnt exist in the force before because im sure it did, but it is pretty bad how it is now, most are just on power trips now & dont care about anyone or their job.

Why "Tuesday", I don't get it?

The police union in Victoria has been holding a strong line threatening strikes over any royal commission like there was in Queensland about 15 or so years ago with the Fitzgerald inquiry. It cleaned up a lot of corruption with drugs, bribes and politics.
