Police corruption is a national problem that has been going on for many years. Not only is corruption a problem on American soil, but corrupt police practices extend to Europe and Asia. Numerous studies, polls and examinations have been conducted to find out exactly what the public's opinion of the police is. Agents come under intense scrutiny over this issue, but for good reason. In the 1980s the legal tension involving police searches was a direct result of the War on Drugs campaign. Officers were encouraged to stop, seize, or search suspicious vehicles to stop drug trafficking (Harns, 1998). But implementing this aggressive approach has had many negative outcomes. One of the problems was that this put the police on a thin line under constitutional laws. Not surprisingly, there is virtually no data assessing the frequency with which police searches fall outside constitutional law. Only cases that attract the attention of the courts are recorded in the registers. A study conducted in “Middleberg” on searches of suspects reports that 70 of 86 searches did not lead to arrest; no citations were issued and no charges were filed. Nearly all of the unconstitutional searches, 31 of 34, were not reported to the courts, nor were they intended to be reported. Race also played an important role in these searches. Of the 114 police stops, 96 were African American citizens, and 30% of these 96 stops were more than likely to be unconstitutional, compared to 22% of the whites stopped. Brutality has also been a problem related to these unconstitutional traffic stops. It is so common among police officers that there is a tendency for repeated abuse of power and it has practically become the “norm”. This is not good because thinking this way gives them the need to break the law. They basically believe that to enforce the law they have to break some of them. Cops practice this unwritten rule everywhere, especially in Los Angeles' CRASH unit. Corruption was so common in the CRASH unit that there were standard procedures to hide it if something went wrong. Overall, the LAPD did not have the strong support it needed from the community. Officers were distrustful of management, had low morale, engaged in racial profiling, and viewed their communities not as partners in crime solving, but as enemies..
