The penalty for anything that he's convicted of, should be 2x what Joe C. Villian would get. If cops are enforcing the laws, they should have a better understanding than non-cops. If they know the rules better than the non-cops, then breaking them has even less of an excuse.

Of course, in this case, the problem for the cop, was that it was a domestic dispute, which ups the ante.
