I Don’t Care How Well You Code, Understand Your Compensation

Well there is a paradox at work here. You need to pay any sort official enough that they aren't desperate for bribes, but not so much that you attract people into the job motivated by personal enrichment. Read "Systems of Survival" by Jane Jacobs for a good study of this.

I agree. In return for the higher pay, I'm in favour of much stronger selection, screening and higher penalties for wrong-doing.

Which is better motivation for a police officer? Personal enrichment, or the chance to use weapons, violence, and deception for advantage--once common delights now so rare!
