I doubt this. I surmise (and I'm imagining my LEO friends talking to me in my head) that they might say, "there are safeguards in place" or "I didn't take this job to go around stealing things from honest people," but I think that they will acknowledge that these (and other similar) measures are just counter-incentives. Regardless of how well they work, and the success or failure of the policy generally, this particular configuration (law enforcement receiving the proceeds) is indeed an incentive for them to do the wrong thing (ie, "perverse"). I really don't think anybody disputes that.
