Which then puts thousands of people entirely at the mercy of criminals on both sides of the law. A perfect example is the "drug corridor" into and out of Mexico, where multiple police departments all along the corridor grab Southbound cash, but all but ignore Northbound drugs, which of course becomes more Southbound cash in due course.
And even just one can do a disproportionate amount of damage, both to those he directly victimises and to the reputation of the force.
Yes I know handcuffing in back is SOP in most parts of the world, but rally driving with a prisoner unrestrained in what amounts to an unpadded box or steel cage most certainly isn't.
