No this is not ethical at all.  The fact that you, as a police officer, thinks so is very troubling to me.  Especially since the District Attorneys works so closely with police officers.  You are basically admitting that if a police officer is charged with a crime then the District Attorneys office will give him a "favorable outcome" under some sort of "ethical" discretion.

Also we are talking about THIRTY A YEAR for EVERY SINGLE OFFICER.  That goes way beyond just helping out a family member every once in a while unless all of these officers are member of a crime syndicate family.  It is clear that these cards were traded for favors or sold for cash.  That is legalized bribery.  Giving an officer cash or a favor in order to get away with a crime.

This is proof of widespread corruption and abuse of the power by police officers.
