Const. Boris Borissov, a Toronto police officer found guilty of misusing police resources, falsifying police reports and stealing from dead people, will serve seven years in prison, an Ontario judge ruled Tuesday.

"Mr. Borissov's conduct in stealing from the very persons he was duty-bound to protect and exploiting the investigative powers with which he was entrusted must be met with a stern denunciatory and deterrent response," said Justice Mary Ellen Misener, who found Borissov guilty of all 15 charges for which he was tried in May.

"Otherwise, public confidence in the police and in the justice system will be eroded."

"the stress of the job, the long working hours, the traumatic events such as seeing abused people or dead bodies and severe assaults slowly took a toll on my physical and mental health."

Being an ex-cop in prison is much worse for ones physical and mental health, and I am happy to hear buddy gets to find out first hand instead of getting off light.
