Article 8[]
Sometime after the end of the Jigsaw murders, a law known as Article 8 was passed. This legislation expanded the powers of law enforcement in order to fight crime. Many corrupt police officers and detectives, including Peter Dunleavy, Fitch, and Marv Bozwick took advantage of Article 8 in order to get away with brutality, up to and including murder. Police Chief Marcus Banks and head of homicide Angie Garza were actively involved in covering up these crimes and shielding their officers from punishment.

The complaint opened up an IA investigation that found Dunleavy guilty. He was stripped of his badge and forced to become a civilian.
