Re: Power corrupts
There are about 125,000 police officers in England and Wales, and that's not including non-officer employees. If there are 2500 allegations of misconduct per year, then - assuming they all involve separate officers - that's 2%.
Wherever you work, how many of your fellow employees do you trust not to abuse private information they have access to in the course of their jobs?
If the answer is no more than 98%, that suggests police are no more corrupt than the average.
