Fire up the inertial dampeners, retract all moorings and clear space dock. It's time to boldy go where no one has gone before!

Why was the man keeping his daughter in a pattern buffer demoted? The man who slaps around klingon dignitaries? The same guy who keeps illicit wartime drugs for, i don't know, kicks I guess?
Why did that guy get demoted? Not sure.
Sure, but you could make such points about half the Enterprise crew. They all do a lot of at least questionably legal things.
Think about how many times Kirk violated the Prime Directive and didn't get in any trouble for it. And on top of that, he literally stole a Federation Starship and, while he did get demoted for it, he still got to be in command of a starship, which isn't much of a demotion.
Meanwhile, Tom Paris is in a penal colony for being with the Maquis for a few weeks and, as far as we know, never killing anyone, let alone a Klingon ambassador. And then there was Raffi, who got a dishonorable discharge, became a drug addict, and then was readmitted to Starfleet at the rank of commander.
It's wildly inconsistent.
