Add insult to injury.
A sheriff's deputy in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin ran a stop sign in February 2013, hit a car, injuring Tanya Weyker badly, and then tried to fine her for it.
From the link above:
In February 2013, Tanya Weyker's car was hit by Milwaukee County Sheriff's Deputy Joseph Quiles, resulting in her neck being broken in four places. Although she was sober (blood tests later confirmed this), Weyker was arrested for drunk driving, and Quiles filed a police report stating that he had come to a complete stop and the accident was Weyker's fault. Even after the tests came back proving Weyker hadn't been drunk, and surveillance camera footage was released showing Quiles not stopping at the stop sign, the county still demanded that Weyker pay for damages from the accident.
Five months later a prosecutor at the DA decided not to file charges - at least one good apple in that barrel - but more than a year later, the county still has not paid for Weyker's hospital bills, while Quiles has filed for permanent disability.

Some thoughts:
It seems to be one of those cases where the surveillance cameras were useful.
Are there any good cops out there? I'm sure there must be, but perhaps because I do so much reading here, I don't see it.

Tired of politics? Need to escape? Try one of my Greek-mythology based novels, either the story of Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus or one of the first examples of civil disobedience, Antigone and Creon. Or, if you like mysteries and/or Jane Austen, treat yourself to The Highbury Murders: A Mystery Set in the Village of Jane Austen’s Emma very positively reviewed at the Daily Kos Monday Murder Mystery blog.
