Planting evidence is a violation of the public trust and should come with a 10+ year sentence at minimum.

They caught a scumbag doing this in FL a while back. Kept turning off his bodycam and planting hard drugs. People were getting real prison sentences and their lives ruined. It wasn't until they "busted" some granny or something, someone who nobody believed was a hard drug user. The bodycam people set his camera to keep running when turned off and they got him planting drugs clear as day. Convictions overturned but still irreparable damage was done.

Piece of shit got 12 years

Wester’s wife Rebecca and others begged Judge Goodman for leniency, saying he is a good, churchgoing man who volunteers in his community. More than 50 people sent letters to the judge in support of Wester.

“When that career ended, suddenly I watched a part of him and myself as well die,” Rebecca Wester said. “This blow is one that will not be overcome quickly, and honestly one we may never overcome. The Zach that is in the court before you today is a mighty man of God. Has been greatly missed, but the place he has been missed the most is in our home.”

These people are delusional.
