If you are a predator who doesn't have a badge, you'll see the light of day again and be able to commit more crimes. For example, in a case reported just a day after the Pena sentencing, a Montana man who is not a police officer was convicted of raping and assaulting a 13-year-old girl as she slept next to her 4-year-old sister. The judge nixed a plea deal because the agreed upon sentence was "not long enough." The harsh sentence imposed on that child predator: 10 years' imprisonment followed by 20 years' probation.
