Who police the police?

OK, u all might be wondering what is the title about.. Some of u might have a clue.. And after u finish reading this u might think I'm right..

Police, as we all know, are law enforcers.. They are suppose to upheld the law in the community, making sure everyone obeys them and thus ensuring a peaceful and safer neighbourhood.. Alas, it is them who sometimes are caught in doing things against the law.. Simply take today's paper and read.. A motorcyclist lost his life simply due to the act of an off-duty cop to do an illegal U-turn.. Not only that, he injured 5 others.. And to make matter worst, he and his friends fled the scene of the accident.. Now, if it was you or me, we could have been booked for that offence any other day, and if caused injury or death, it's a one way ticket to jail.. How can he, of all people, do such an irresponsible act? Off-duty or not, as a law enforcer, shouldn't he uphold the rules within him?

Don't look far.. Yesterday, when coming back from dinner with my family, a car was tail gating our car.. The car was driving fast (to tail gate la) and had those halogen headlamps.. (u know those are banned) Never mind that, the fact is that he's a police investigator.. U tell me, they catch us for speeding, having halogen head lamps but they can do it??!! Even the Altantuya case has come into light.. The suspects, who are policeman, can cover up their face from the public, and it's nicely done.. If it was any other criminal, their face will be posted up everywhere for public view but no..... That's not the case here.. People are asking are the policeman getting 'special treatment'? Beats me, but yeah, 95% of the people who participated in a survey on this matter sure do think that way..

Looking at all this, won't u stop to ponder what I've said its true? OK, I know they're humans too, but then again, if we can't do things against the law, do they mean they can??!! Take bribery for instance and u know where I'm getting too.. U answer the question, 'Who police the police'?
