Corrupt Officials

“	EPA Member: I'm afraid we lost them, sir. Russ Cargill: Damn it! Well, then, you find them and you get them back in the dome. And to make sure nobody else gets out, I want roving death squads around the perimeter twenty-four seven! I want ten thousand tough guys, and I want ten thousand soft guys to make the tough guys look tougher! And here's how I want them arranged: tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft, tough, tough, soft, tough, soft, soft. EPA Member: Sir, I'm afraid you've gone mad with power. Russ Cargill: Of course, I have. You ever tried going mad without power? It's boring! No one listens to you!	„

Corrupt Officials take many forms; they may be world leaders or powerful businessmen who act criminal or they may be politicians, judges, chiefs, executives, officers, entrepreneurs, teachers, principals, lawyers, or members of law enforcement (such as police officers, special agents and detectives) who abuse their position for their own selfish gains.

To qualify for this category, a villain simply has to be in a position of power which he or she uses in an inappropriate and infelicitous manner.
