Police reform ideas
June 04th, 2020
----------------------------------------

In case you hadn't noticed, police in the United States are extremely
corrupt... Here are some ideas on how to at least cut down on the
violence inflicted by patrol officers:

Cops who cover their badge numbers, turn off their cameras (body/dash),
or illegally stop someone from filming them should be severely
disciplined. Repeat offenders should be terminated.

It should be much easier for cops to be charged for crimes related to
excessive force complaints.

When a cop is fired from a police department for brutality, they should
become ineligible from any further law enforcement and/or security jobs.
This should be supported by a national database which should be part of
background checks done on perspective cops.  It's far too common for a
cop who is fired from a police department for killing civilians to be
rehired in a different police department.

When police departments (or other law enforcement agencies) have
lawsuits filed against them for excessive force complaints, the lawyers
representing the department in question should be funded with that
department's pension funds.  This will help supposedly good cops (if
there are any actually left) to rein in bad cops.

Some police departments implement IQ tests as part of the hiring process
if the perspective applicants have a very high IQ result, they are
rejected. This is patently wrong and should be banned.  If anything cops
should be required to be educated.
