It amazes me that police can be this open about abusing the system and treating people unfairly and then act shocked and insulted when people accuse them of abusing the system and treating people unfairly.
Let's say a relative of yours is arrested in the same jurisdiction that you work in. You don't think you'd use your relationships in the DA's office to secure a more favorable outcome than a person would likely get if they knew no one involved in the court system? Personal relationships almost always secure a more favorable outcome than someone who has no such ties would receive. All of which falls under legal and ethical discretion.
