The pay only sucks at the start, then you learn how to exploit overtime and pick up detail shifts.

Yeah, but that comes back to the same point where pay incentivizes bad cops. It's not quite that clear cut, but it's not far from the truth. I don't begrudge someone working a second job, and assuming we're talking about good cops not getting kickbacks, police shouldn't have to work two jobs to make ends meet.
