The numbers are so few it'd be a waste to build one...
I assume that the judge takes into account peelers would have a worse time in prison, usually having to be segregated. And also bear in mind the peeler also thought he was start a car chase of a stolen vehicle, there's no excuse for texting while driving.
Just up the road a few years ago, someone got 6 years for doing 55mph and hitting a kid who'd not bothered to wait for the green man at a pelican crossing. But he was 'chavscum' rather than a copper who thought he was above the law, so he got the book thrown at him.
The lass who was texting was driving at about 65mph on a dual carriageway with grade separated junctions, yet got a much longer sentence.
The whole system stinks. But then it always was jobs for the boys: judges and magistrates are too used to being blown by coppers to ever stand up to them properly.
