Conflict of interest is a common occurrence whenever someone knowingly relinquishes his ethical fortitude in exchange for blatant abuse of power, influence or other aspect inherent to the position.

In fact, this deviant factor of police departments across the country has long been a significant concern; while some will argue how conflicts of interest represent little more than a few isolated incidents, telltale accounts have proven just the opposite. From the city streets to the interrogation room, the presence of interest conflict in such locations as South Florida reflects what continues to be a common component of the culture that inhabits the nation's law enforcement.
