Crunchy Political Corruption!
Corruption is everywhere! A 2013 survey by transparency International (known as the Corruption Perception Index) reveals that no country is perceived as totally "not corrupt". (Transparency International, Corruption Perception Index, 2013)

There is still voter fraud today, and political corruption is more prevalent than ever. Even the force pledged to stop these things from happening has its own set of problems. In fact, since 2000, 47 Chicago law enforcement officers were convicted of drug and gang related crimes. (University of Chicago, Anti-Corruption Report #7, 2013)

Police Misconduct in 2009:
The following is data collected from April through September of 2009 (a period of 6 months) in the US.
2,568 – Alleged victims of reported police misconduct.
2,854 – Law enforcement officers alleged to have engaged in misconduct.
207 – Law enforcement leaders (police chiefs or sheriffs) that were cited in those reports.
215 – Fatalities reported in connection with alleged instances of misconduct.
14.7 – Reported incidents of misconduct tracked per day on average or a report of misconduct every 98 minutes.
1 out of every 116.4 – Estimated number of officers who will be involved in a reported act of misconduct this year.
$128,906,406 – Reported costs in police misconduct related civil litigation, not counting legal fees or court costs.
Although police misconduct is not reflective of police corruption, it gives a good idea of what the police force is like.
This was taken from the 2009 Semi-annual Police Misconduct Statistics Report, assembled by David Packman.
