Police as being held to a higher standard of ethics both on and off duty. Wrong doing in policing is considered hard to count . Rcmp kept zero records of serious things prior to 2012: now they can be held civilly and criminally responsible for their conduct, canadian courts also hold police to a higher standard. 3 categories of police misconduct: rotten apples: individual officers that are participating in wrongdoing. Solution: fired or resign: rotten barrels: within the service there are groups of officers engaging in the behavior, rotten orchard: misconduct in the entire structure of the police service.
