<<I believe that people who are in jobs of trust should be held to a higher standard. In other words, if a cop breaks the law, his penalty is greater than if a lowly citizen broke the same law.>> Fully agree in almost every case. I at times, though, wonder about the medical professionals who get a drug problem? In most cases they embezzled the drugs. Should it be viewed in the same light as the banker caught with hand in the till or the retail employee pilfering a shirt? Should it be different for those stealing from the public than their employer - if their employer has a partial private / public relationship? A hospital is often part owned by a charity or governmental org. and the bank / brokerage enjoys Federal insurance.
