Do politicians lie more than average? Do police have a lower opinion of 
the honesty of people than average? Do police, for that matter, 
consistently drive at the speed limit, even in their personal automobiles?

Personally, I think they'd get corrupted interacting with the court on a 
regular basis, seeing so many people going through the court system who 
have done awful things, to the point where they see the judges and 
police as normal upstanding hard-working folks, and anyone arrested most 
likely guilty because otherwise the upstanding police wouldn't have 
arrested them. Not that someone would necessarily corrupt them (altho Mr 
Hawkins has a good point), but that it would just be a natural result of 
working inside the system without a clear goal (prosecution or defense) 
one way or another for extended periods of time.

My two cents.
