Poisoners Dilemma with Corrupt Cop


I've been thinking of a game similar to Poisoner's Dilemma but with a corrupt cop or agent. Wondering if it could it shed light on strategies to handle politicians, scientists, other corrupt agents.

Is there anything out there like that, already?

Prisoner's dilemma is not so much about the specific scenario as about the fact that the two players have different options (defect, cooperate) with a payoff matrix that makes the best option for an individual not necessarily the same as the best option overall. What is Poisoner's Dilemma about?

Twain first proposed the Poisoner's Dilemma a century before its more famous cousin. Here the quandary is to keep silent and have everyone think you're a cretin or spout a malapropism and remove all doubt.
