> Then, I heard a story from one cop being out with cop buddies and driving wasted, smashing into car and running away.

In BC, a cop was driving from the bar, hit and killed a motorcyclist, left the scene, drove home, downed a couple of shots of vodka to 'steady his nerves'. [1] An old trick that he allegedly shared with his RCMP buddies.

He got a 12-month suspended sentence for it. Quite a bit less than what he'd face for killing someone while DUI.

(He later got a 2-year sentence for perjury in an inquiry regarding him killing a Polish immigrant with a taser.)

[1] Which is to say, make it impossible to determine how intoxicated he was at the time that he killed Orion Hutchinson.
