"There are so many law breakers- from drug use to hiring prostitutes, illegal sports betting and poker games,  that such laws which prohibit those activities can only be enforced arbitrarily and selectively. Any law which can be selectively enforced provides the prime motivation for cops to look the other way in exchange for money, sex, information, etc. Once a cop has been compromised, there is no reason to stop with just the vices. In for a penny, in for a pound... if they are risking it all for sex or a few dollars from a call girl or madam, why not go for the brass ring? Thank goodness, not all cops are bad, and I want to make it clear that I have no problem with good law enforcement agents. The ones for whom I have the greatest sympathy are those who must stay on the job until they retire because they put too much time into their careers and cannot just leave, but they must remain silent and ignore the crimes their colleagues commit. It doesn't have to be that way- if society ever  grows up and gets its collective nose out of the private lives and behavior of consenting adults, then the majority of police corruption would disappear overnight. Unfortunately human nature is such that it will never disappear, but it would be so uncommon and manageable that the fallout from future scandals would be minimal."
