not everywhere.

will you deposit your money to bank clerk, that was in newspaper as suspect in fraud?

there are number of jobs, that you have to be clean, and once you are suspect... you are having long vacation (without pay) until you come clean.

I have seen friends being let go because police investigation (no pay no severance), but if you are member of union, that's different story.

This has nothing to do with a union. These types of protections are in place to protect polce officers from false accusations from the general public. If they lost pay everytime they were being looked into they would never get paid. Unfortunately these same safe guards also protect the bad apples when they do bad things.

I do not disagree with them being off with pay, but if convicted I think they should have to pay it all back.
 
A very good friend of mine (being around 33 at the time) killed a 65 year old man around 10 years ago. He was out with the boys one night and drank way to much and decided to crash at his friends house. He got up the next morning and headed home. On the way, he fell asleep at the wheel and swerved head on to a car killing the driver. He still had alcohol in his system and blew over when they tested him. My friend is one of the nicest guys you could meet and some of you probably have because he's been in the sportbike scene his whole life in the TO area. I went to some of his court dates and it was heart wrenching listening to the victim impact statements from the family. It was also hard watching a good friend of mine have his life implode. This guy was no different then a lot of people, just made a really bad decision early one morning. He was sentenced to 2 years house arrest and lost his license for 7 years. He just got his license back last year and is riding again. He's still seeing a therapist having troubles dealing with what he did. Sad all the way around.
 
[h=1]No jail time for former RCMP officer Monty Robinson, convicted of obstruction[/h]

NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. - A disgraced former RCMP corporal in British Columbia will not spend any time behind bars.
A B.C. Supreme Court judge in New Westminster, B.C., has sentenced Monty Robinson to a 12 month conditional term — one month to be served at home and the rest of the term to be supervised by a probation officer.
The 42-year-old was convicted last March of obstruction of justice for trying to block a potential impaired driving investigation after he hit and killed 21-year-old motorcyclist Orion Hutchinson in the Vancouver suburb of Delta.
Robinson admitted to the October 2008 crash but said he left the scene to gulp two quick shots of vodka at his nearby home before returning to speak to police.
The judge found Robinson used his RCMP training to hide the fact that he had consumed five beer shortly before the collision.
Robinson was discharged from the Mounties last week, but still faces perjury charges stemming from testimony he and three other Mounties gave about the October 2007 death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski, who was repeatedly stunned by a Taser at Vancouver's airport.

 
just saw that. ridiculous.

most stories where a person killed another, and fled the scene usuallu end up with 2-3yrs prison, not 12 month conditional.
 
My mother works for a lawyer that represents some impaired driver and rarely do they get jail time if convicted, death or not.
