In 1990, an Alaskan police officer was arrested for pulling over female drivers and threatening to arrest them and take them to jail for various reasons and would only let them go if they paid him money. This act falls under bribery and extortion. This is defined as a police officer exploited specifically to raise money. By accepting money to forget about laws being broken the officer was being corrupt. The police officer could have acted differently by not accepting money in the first place and issuing tickets to the people that have violated traffic laws.
