Im not a criminal, my first experience with the police i was 12 and ran away from home
my second i was the victim of a violent robbery a few years later and refused to testify
the others revolve around traffic stops.
Im not a criminal but i can tell you in each circumstance they either did, or attempted to make me feel like one, and used threats and intimidation to achieve their goals.
I would be willing to make that bet...at least half the police force is corrupt...using the parameters
Corruption of authority: police officers receiving free drinks, meals, and other gratuities.
Kickbacks: receiving payment from referring people to other businesses. This can include, for instance, contractors and tow truck operators.[8]
Opportunistic theft from arrestees and crime victims or their corpses.
Shakedowns: accepting bribes for not pursuing a criminal violation.
Protection of illegal activity: being "on the take", accepting payment from the operators of illegal establishments such as brothels, casinos, or drug dealers to protect them from law enforcement and keep them in operation.
"Fixing": undermining criminal prosecutions by withholding evidence or failing to appear at judicial hearings, for bribery or as a personal favor.
Direct criminal activities of law enforcement officers themselves.[9]
Internal payoffs: prerogatives and perquisites of law enforcement organizations, such as shifts and holidays, being bought and sold.
The "frameup": the planting or adding to evidence, especially in drug cases.
Police hazing within law enforcement.
Ticket fixing: police officers cancelling traffic tickets as a favor to the friends and family of other police officers.

Lying or falsifying reports, abused of a civilian/suspect
"Prevalence of police corruption[edit]
Accurate information about the prevalence of police corruption is hard to come by, since the corrupt activities tend to happen in secret and police organizations have little incentive to publish information about corruption.[10] Police officials and researchers alike have argued that in some countries, large-scale corruption involving the police not only exists but can even become institutionalized.[11] One study of corruption in the Los Angeles Police Department (focusing particularly on the Rampart scandal) proposed that certain forms of police corruption may be the norm, rather than the exception, in American policing.[12] In the UK, an internal investigation in 2002 into the largest police force, the Metropolitan Police, Operation Tiberius found that the force was so corrupt that "organized criminals were able to infiltrate Scotland Yard “at will” by bribing corrupt officers ... and that Britain’s biggest force suffered 'endemic corruption' at the time".[13]
Where corruption exists, the widespread existence of a Blue Code of Silence among the police can prevent the corruption from coming to light. Officers in these situations commonly fail to report corrupt behavior or provide false testimony to outside investigators to cover up criminal activity by their fellow officers.[14] The well-known case of Frank Serpico, a police officer who spoke out about pervasive corruption in the NYPD despite the open hostility of other members, illustrates how powerful the code of silence can be. In Australia in 1994, by 46 votes to 45, independent politician John Hatton forced the New South Wales state government to override the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the advice of senior police to establish a ground-breaking Royal Commission into Police Corruption[15] However, in a number of countries, such as China,[16] India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil or Mexico, police corruption remains to be one of the largest social problems facing their countries."
Why did you run away from home? What the police do when they picked you up? Seems like you're hanging with the wrong crowd man.
At this point, you're just making baseless accusations. To use a quote by you: "Widow, is that you?"
