...The assumption being that all cops working on commission would milk the system for every possible cent?

I don't agree. I've known many people who work on commission who are also as honest as the day is long. In any case you'd still have to be breaking the law to get caught, and once caught you'd have the same rights as anyone else. If you felt you WERE innocent you could plead not guilty, go to court, and make the cop prove you broke the law.
