15. De-power unions, lower bloated budgets, charge more, change sentencing laws.

I personally believe that crimes committed by people within the justice system (cops, judges, attorneys, expert witnesses etc.) should carry much harsher punishments given the shock to the system that they cause. Police Unions often have too much say over disciplinary measures regarding officers. There will never be an impartial system as long as that is the case. The clear rate of officers nationwide (no crime over 50%) doesn't warrant massive budgets or qualified immunity that lets them skate 99% of the time. There also needs to be a real effort at demilitarization.
