Message for police officers who are not surprised by this

You don't have to stand for this. Don't allow the flaws of others to lead to the compromise of your personal morality. Any honest police officer deserves to work for a law-abiding police force. You could easily get sucked into being a party to criminal offences, relying on authorities not prosecuting them. That is not what you joined the police for.

You need to declare that enough is enough, work with other like-minded colleagues, and co-operate outside of official channels, which have proven to be inadequate. If anyone of rank tries to stop efforts to restore law-abiding policing, use the argument that in doing so, they have stopped acting as a police officer, so their rank is irrelevant.

I don't know enough about the practical details to be specific about how you do this, you will have to work this out. It has to be easy to be good, and hard to be bad. But here are some possibilities:

Here's a final question. There must be so many police officers who are aware of this sort of thing. Why have none of them created a webpage like this one? Why do the people who are paid to enforce the law leave tasks like this to civilians like me?
