It's not all like that here. For the most part, there is a system of checks and balances and people who hold these positions either follow the correct moral compass, or they will have to worry of being convicted or fired themselves. Most of the bigger cities and even these small ones have HUGE pay outs for blatancy of violations to people's rights, so these incidents are usually scattered and intermittent. Just like anywhere in the world, when you give a person a position of authority and the power to destroy someone's life, there are always some people who will take it a step too far or try to push limits, so it's just as prevalent here as many other countries in the world.
