Of course the cops keep using it - payments from the inevitable lawsuits don’t come out of their pockets, so why give a shit when there are quotas to make? No accountability breeds irresponsibility.

That would fix it quickly. Wrongful arrest takes funding directly from the agency that did it. 6months in prison, all funds for 6months for that agency. Either everyone will quit or they would shut down completely. Asking the police officers to work for no pay for 6 months would eventually pit them against others making wrongful arrests and make those who don’t care about doing whats right quit because they don’t care about anything but the paycheck. The only people you might have left are those who actually wanted to help the people.
Or they’d just become more corrupt and kill more people to make sure they had no say… Hard to say

The second part. I have no faith the American public doing the right thing.

More likely would eventually cause them all to quit and look for new jobs. I’m no cop sympathizer, but they don’t get paid enough to survive 2 months without pay, let alone 6. The people who actually wanted to help others would quit too.
