It's so insane. It should be three exact opposite. If you hold public office, the punishment should be amplified not reduced or outright impossible. IMO if a judge gets caught even for a minor offense like shoplifting, they should get a year in prison and lose their job. If cops steal from suspects, manufacture or plant evidence they should look at the death penalty. The impact of the crime when committed by an official goes way beyond the immediate damage since it undermines the entire system. A cop being exposed as corrupt is much more harmful to the system than a private individual vomiting a murder. The punishment needs to be in accordance with that.

- tremon 4y agoI think I agree with the GP. Treating them the same would be a good start, but I'm fully on board with the notion that with great power comes great sentencing.

Or just punish them according to law and make it impossible for someone with a criminal record to work in the field (at least for a certain time, depending on the severity of the crime, someone that shoplifted once at the age of thirteen should probably still be able to become a cop).
