Can a cop commit rape or murder? Normally a cop is only allowed to do minor illegal things that aren't on the level of directly harming a person. Since the government argues child porn directly harms the child (as otherwise it would be protected by the first amendment), a cop should not be allowed to engage in activities related to it.

On a related note, why doesn't the mafia just require any suspected cop to commit rape of some target. Or are cops allowed to go that far?
