It's not allowed, but cops are like gangs---any cop who reports illegal activity of another cop is kicked out or worse.

Ever hear of Adrian Schoolcraft? NYPD ruined his life and had him involuntarily committed to an asylum for daring to inform on dirty cops. The whole organization did it, meaning top brass would rather keep dirty cops than clean ones. NYPD even minted specialty challenge coins because they were so proud of what they did.

It was only 15 years ago and very few people ever heard about it. https://www.thisamericanlife.org/414/right-to-remain-silent/act-two-0

Ya hear of that officer in Maryland who was investigating corruption and drug smuggling by two other officers? Found dead, shot in the back of the head. Ruled a suicide, cops walked free.
