If you or i did this with the corporate credit card, the irony is that this officer could be the one investigating if your company presses charges.........

Jaywalking isn't a violation of our criminal code, and neither are most instances of exceeding the posted speed limit. For that reason, a conviction of those charges, doesn't result in a criminal record, and they don't result in serious sentences. On the other hand fraud is a criminal act, so someone that commits fraud is a criminal, and should be treated as such. This officer willingly accepted money to uphold the very law that he violated, so seeing as how he can't be trusted to uphold our laws, he should not be paid to enforce them.
