Yes, this makes sense. Some of the problem has to do with certain perceptions about the police, such as those who believe that police deserve special rights above that of the ordinary citizen. I often think of this every time there's a debate over gun rights. Some people believe that ordinary citizens shouldn't have guns, but the cops should. This is a very, very wrong way of thinking in a society which purports to support "equality."
But if we're not going to give civilians the same rights as police officers, then something else should be done to equalize the system and ensure justice. This might mean removing certain protections that an ordinary suspect might have, such as the right be considered innocent until proven guilty. In my view, cops and other government officials give up that right when they enter public service. They want all the privileges and power that come with the job, so they have to be willing to give something up in return.
So, if someone accuses a cop, the burden should be on the cop to prove his innocence. That would be one way of ensuring justice and discouraging corruption.
That's where prisons seem to take some of backwards approach. The ones who are the worst criminals, the ones who deserve the harshest punishments - they go to prison and live like kings. While those who are minor criminals get harsher punishments than they deserve - or they might join the gangs in prison and come out an even more hardened and dangerous criminal than when they went in.
