From sea to shining sea, cops, jail guards, and court officers go bad. This week, in addition to the usual rogues' gallery of corrupt cops, we get an abusive one, too.

A Texas constable and probation/parole officers in Massachusetts and North Carolina are in the spotlight this week.

A cop with a pain pill habit gets in trouble. So does yet another jail guard.

A key Coast Guard anti-drug fighter gets caught doing cocaine, plus the usual array of miscreants in blue.

Cops "misplacing" money, cops providing help to a pot crew, a court security officer peddling pain pills, and a jail guard getting caught bringing in the goodies. Just another week in the drug war.

A Boston cop goes to prison for being muscle for drug dealers, and a Miami-area cop and two prison guards get caught up in a massive Oxycontin and health fraud scandal.
