And yes, i think that a cop being charged (especially in instances where youth are involved) should be treated differently than the average citizen, these are people that are suppose to be role models and are suppose to uphold the law, not break it.
I'll use this as a comparison, is Pickton going home each night after his trial? He's still innocent isn't he?

That's the worst comparison ever, a serial killer to a paedophile? Gimme a break. Are you sure it's a federal offence? Because I don't believe it is. But I could be wrong. Well a court sets a bail. Depending on the crime and other factors, the bail is set at a dollar amount or completely denied. Someone charged with sex charges, who hasn't committed any crimes before and is a police office is going to get a low bail because it poses a smaller risk than someone who chopped up people and buried them in his yard.
Him being locked up before his trail and getting paid are not related. The courts are the ones that decide whether or not he can walk around the streets or not. The RCMP are the ones that choose to pay him or not.
