https://www.rawstory.com/2017/10/watch-florida-deputy-steals-cash-and-drugs-from-elderly-man-fatally-hurt-during-hurricane/Deputy Jason Cooke was taken into custody last week on burglary and grand theft with a firearm charges for allegedly robbing the home of 85-year-old Moe Rosoff, who fell during the storm and later died, reported the Sun-Sentinel.
...
The home was equipped with a motion detection system that recorded video showing Cooke inside the home, and the dead mans son later turned the video over to police.
Relatives say Cooke stole money, jewelry and medications from the home and they accused police of dragging their feet on the arrest and withholding documents about the case.
The family reported the video to police on Sept. 20, eight days after the break-in, but Cooke was not arrested until Oct. 19 nearly five weeks later.
Relatives said the video appeared to show Cooke popping a pill into his mouth as he left the home, and they said investigators later found drugs in his patrol car that probably did not belong to their dead father.

Drug-addicted cop steals from dead man's house.
Gets busted.
His colleagues first send him on a 30 day rehab and arrest him after his return.
I wonder how many ordinary citizens get this option:
"Okay, you have video of me committing a crime. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to my rehab to get some drugs out of my system. You can arrest me when I'm back."
