== Film ==

* Van Stretch from ''Internal Affairs'' is Dennis Peck's partner who assaults a drug pusher and his girlfriend for resisting arrest.

** Peck is also implied to be disliked by his fellow officers, due to his unscrupulous methods during his job.

* ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers]]'': Barricade is portrayed as a "bad cop" cliche when he interrogates Sam Witwicky in an attempt to find where are his great-great-grandfather's glasses for the coordinates of the AllSpark.

{{quote|'''Verbal Kint:''' The DA gave me immunity.

'''David Kujan:''' Not from me. You get no immunity from me, you piece of shit.}}

{{quote|'''Sam Vines:''' Who watches the watchman? I do.}}

* [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[Desperation]]'': Collie Entragian. Of course, ''I'm going to kill you'' not all he seems, ''I'm going to kill you'' this being a [[Stephen King]] novel. ''I'm going to kill you.''

* Bud White from ''[[L.A. Confidential]]'' is a thuggish police officer with a penchant of assaulting woman-beaters.

** Dick Stensland is also responsible for instigating the Bloody Christmas incident by brutalizing the Mexican prisoners.

== Video Games ==

* Carter Blake in ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' is an immoral police lieutenant with immunity from the local precinct (it's a miracle how) who prefers beating a suspect rather than extracting any information, has no problem with breaking the law during his investigation, and will have no qualms about arresting even an innocent person. First, he tries to scare Nathaniel Williams, a religious fanatic who wasn't involved in the murders. Then he roughs up Clarence Dupré, Ethan Mars' psychologist, who had done nothing wrong other than refusing to admit that one of his patients is a murderer. When the psychologist confesses that Ethan (who's only trying to look for Shaun, his 10-year-old-son) had visions of drowning bodies, Blake then does everything in his power to assure those affiliated with the investigation that said innocent man is the Origami Killer. [[The Profiler|The FBI agent attached to the investigation, Norman Jayden]], isn't convinced, and the two have a very rough rivalry. If Ethan is arrested, then it leads to a [[Moral Event Horizon|scene where Blake will mercilessly beat Ethan into unconsciousness]]. Jayden can intervene and punch Blake, which will prompt him to hold Jayden at gunpoint, waiting for the perfect opportunity to kill him.

** It doesn't stop there. One of the possible endings has Blake {{spoiler|ordering his squad of officers at the warehouse to gun down Ethan who had finally reunited with Shaun after having gone to incredible lengths to save him from drowning in the well, all while the aforementioned son watches in helplessness as his beloved father's body falls to the ground, lifeless. All because Blake refused to believe anyone but Ethan could be the Origami Killer and the instant said unarmed victim had his back turned to the police to clutches his left hip in agonizing pain instead of keeping his hands up, Blake gives the order to shoot}}. At this point, it's easy to say that Blake is considered as one of the most corrupt cops in fiction, even the actual villain doesn't come close to being the most disliked character in the game.
