Warner Bros.If there's one profession that has, since the advent of cinema itself, sparked the imagination of the world's filmmakers it's the police officer. Whether its the everyman cop (i.e. John McClane), the loose cannon (Harry Callahan), or one man armies (Marion Cobra Cobretti), these heroic and valiant law enforcers have always made excellent characters to root for. However the recent release of the crime-drama Triple 9 reminds us that not all movie cops are on the level. In the film, directed by John Hillcoat, a group of corrupt police plan to distract from their massive heist by killing a fellow officer of the law. Not exactly the law-abiding behavior we want in our heroes, nor is it the worst crimes weve seen cops commit on film.. Throughout the years, weve seen cops depicted as murderers, thieves, racists, and just plain indifferent to upholding the law. And while any corrupt lawman is deplorable, it takes a certain level of venality to be considered among the worst of the worst. Comedy, drama, period, contemporary, or even superhero; no genre is safe from bad cops. So see which characters betrayed the badge so much, they earn the title of most corrupt cops on film.
