Found it.

It was on the Freakonomics podcast (highly recommended) talking about the US’s even worse problems with policing.

This guy is Alex Murray, a chief superintendent with the Met, who has a much healthier opinion of what policing could and should be along those Peelian principle lines:

Whilst I get there are a few in the police that give them a bad name I don't get your obsession of putting the police down whenever you can. We couldn't live without them that's for sure.

Where does this bad apple notion come from and why does it get repeated as though it's some little nugget of knowledge?

This is the sodding law enforcement we're talking about here.

Surely the 'few bad apples' in society is supposed to refer to criminals?

Poll:

That’s what half-time is for ðŸ˜ƒ

No but would seriously recommend. The guy is a breath of fresh air. And even if the police have screwed up a lot, it seems that it’s the political/funding issue that has really got in the way over the years more than anything else.

Getting the police to give people a kicking (and worse) seems to be too much of a vote-winner.
