That thing where law enforcement officers can be elected is such a weird American oddity.

Most countries appoint law enforcement officers who are qualified for the job.

We had a problem last year here in San Mateo County, California where our sheriff was corrupt but we had to pass a ballot measure because we couldn't just fire them: https://calmatters.org/justice/2025/10/san-mateo-sheriff-rem...

Since when are elected officials immune from prosecution for crimes?
