Crooked Cops, History Channel, 2003
They are charged with protecting society from crime and corruption. As the "thin blue line" between law and chaos, they occupy a unique position in America.
That is why, when cops cross the line, when they turn from keepers of the law to breakers of it, they tear at trust across America. And the corruption found today among police forces nationwide is bolder and more violent than ever witnessed before.
20th Century With Mike Wallace takes a look at scandals of the past, and examines how illicit drugs and the money that comes with them has dramatically changed the nature of police corruption. Today's rogue cops aren't just taking payoffs often they are the drug lords stealing and selling cocaine for high profit!
Uncover the stories of cops in New York, Miami, Philadelphia and New Orleans who have broken the law and committed heinous crimes. And an original interview with Jim Fyfe, a former cop and professor of criminal justice, takes a look at what makes a good cop turn bad.
