Apple chief of security was recently indicted on a charge of a bribe to Santa Clara county sheriff, and the case was dismissed last month. There are 3006 counties in US, and one can let the imagination run wild :)

I don't want to take away anything from your argument but that case is a bad example. There was no evidence to show corrupt evidence and it was dismissed as such.
