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?

Pickton has been charged with multiple murders, which I imagine qualifies him as a danger to the public at large. He was denied bail. Apples to Oranges.
I do agree that I don't understand why he is still getting pay. Reduced perhaps, untill proven guilty, but full pay seems a little generous for someone facing charges of this magnitude.
