A lot of that is a shitty deal for sure. If there's one profession that should obey the law it's the enforcers. I say throw the book at the cop.
.
Also, i assume the mother didn't properly buckle her child. And if that's true there should probably be chargers (and serious ones). Child safety restraints are no joke. EVERY parent should study proper safety restraint like their children's lives depend on it, because they do.
The cop was also charged with homicide and speeding. He was/is on paid leave only until they decide(ed) to fire him or take other disciplinary action. And not only did the mother not tighten the straps, she didn't secure the carseat, she put it in the center of the front seat.
That is f*ed up giving the cop paid leave though, imo
