- allthenopes25 1y agoThere are prosecutions too (the law has only relatively recently been tightened up): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-62729737 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-62729737 https://policeprofessional.com/news/pc-to-stand-trial-over-misuse-of-pnc/ https://policeprofessional.com/news/pc-to-stand-trial-over-m... But being sacked as a police officer in the UK is a fairly big deal. There's no Fraternal Order of Police to ease you into a cushy security job, and there's no macho culture of celebrating corrupt police.
