Well-meaning rookies may come into the force thinking they are going to do things the "right"/legal way, only to be schooled by veterans on how they have to cut corners to make the numbers to get promoted. Idealist rookies may resist for a while, but eventually they realize that if they don't go along with the BS pulled by the veterans, they'll be on the outs and their career with stagnate. Or possibly worse.
