I just want to come in and say that it's not that everyone has a price, it's that people who feel they lack a certain level of well being have a price. Do you think you'd be able to corrupt Bill Gates? Ok granted some billionaires seem corrupt bit it's not that they are corruptible it's that they now have the power to corrupt others (by swinging the carrot of cash in front of them). I think there is a middle ground where you are not so broke that you can easily be corrupted and you are not so rich that you want to corrupt the world to fit your needs. In essence if people who worked certain risky jobs were actually paid their worth and not pennies there would probably be less corruption.

So I just wanted to say the system needs to be fixed so that more people make a decent living wage if you want to lower incidents of corrupted cops, workers and misc serviceman. That's just my 2 cents ^_^

I partially agree. The problem is that there is no way to see into a man's heart (forgive the lack of gender neutrality) no matter the level of scrutiny. Therefore, even the saint of saints cannot be validated as incorruptible. The public is becoming more AWARE every day that a badge does not an honest person make. The courts are beginning to acknowledge this as well. Man, I could share some crazy stories about police corruption at any level (local, state, or federal). Believe it or not, this isn't a new phenomenon, it's merely being recognized more so than before.
