Question

A police officer sees a car speeding dangerously down the highway and pulls it over. The driver hands the officer his license with a $50 bill clipped to it. The officer takes it and does not write a ticket. Taking the money is ________; not writing a ticket is ________.

Answer 1

Malfeasance; nonfeasance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malfeasance is an act that's illegal or wrongful. Taking the money of a bribery is wrong, but doing so while being a police officer is twice as wrong. This action also results in an nonfeasance given that not writing the speeding ticket could result in harm.
