Hi everyone,
I need some help with the way disciplining a police detective works.
Here's the scenario:
A detective, in other to protect an undercover cop friend who committed a murder, tries to plant evidence on a vagrant.
She was not caught doing this, but when the vagrant gets exonerated, IA takes an interest and investigates her.
All of this is happening in the background of my novel, for the most part, so the details aren't very fleshed out. But I would like to know, what would be likely to happen to her if they suspected she did it but didn't have proof?
What kind of evidence would get her suspended, but not dismissed or arrested?
Thank you for any and all advice!
