State By State Police Misconduct

I don't believe these statistics are 100% accurate. NJ cops, they don't
get caught b/c they all stick up for each other but overall they are
bullies. Vermont number one???? Vermont cops are really easy going - no brutality there, but I can see some of them getting caught taking cash at a raid or hitting on a female traffic
stop. Montana, visited for 2 weeks an only saw 2 cops, very low police
presence. Kentucky cops are all laid back - I can see why they are on
top of the good guys list! Here in West Palm Beach, many bullies! California, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia and Massachusetts have the most bullies...

Florida Is The Most Corrupt State In The Country, According To Integrity Florida Study

A new study by nonprofit Integrity Florida ranks the Sunshine State as the country's most corrupt.

According to the "Corruption Risk Report: Florida Ethics Laws,"
1,762 of Florida's public officials have been convicted of public
corruption since 1976. From 2000 to 2010, there have been an average of
71 convictions each year -- and 107 convictions in 2000 alone, the worst
year on record.

Along with recent conviction rates, the study cites a C- grade on ethics enforcement from the State Integrity Investigation and the fact that three Florida cities ranked on Forbes' “Most Miserable Cities” thanks to polticial corruption.

See Integrity Florida's study below.

Florida was followed in the rankings by California, Texas, New York and Pennsylvania. The findings come on the heels of a February 2012 study which found Florida to be the fourth most corrupt state in the country,
with New York taking the dubious honor at the top. That study used
records as far back as 1976, while Integrity Florida used data from 2000
to 2010.

“In the modern era (2000-2010), there has been an upward trend
towards more federal public corruption convictions in Florida,” read the
Integrity Florida report.

Miami-Dade has had more than its share of spectacular political
corruption in recent decades. Former Miami City Commissioner Humberto
Hernandez pled guilty in 1997 to charges he raked in $8 million in mortgages by over-inflating property values. He was also charged with voter fraud after a comfortable election win.

Former Miami Beach Mayor Alex Daoud did time
in 1991 after being accused of accepting more than $100,000 worth of
free work on his home, extorting money, taking in $100,000 in cash
bribes, and filing false tax returns for six years -- all chronicled in
his book, "Sins of South Beach."

Even when deeds seem borne of good intentions in Miami-Dade, they
backfire. Earlier this year Miami Shores comptroller Carolyn Ann Modeste
was banned for life from public service because she stole more than $200,000 of the village's money after falling prey to an African orphan scam.
