Summary

This quote suggests that no matter how morally corrupt or immoral an individual may become, they can never attain the same level of unscrupulousness as the police. The statement could be seen as a reflection of the speaker's deep mistrust or negative perception of law enforcement, insinuating that the police are inherently corrupt and morally compromised. It implies that even individuals who have stooped to considerable depths cannot match the perceived immorality or lack of integrity associated with the police.
