In California, an officer must have your consent to search your car, your home, or place of business unless they witness a crime or statement of a crime being made and have reason to secure the scene or evidence. They won't just barge in a start searching because they are going to be responsible for that evidence being tossed out in court.
I would say that Florida cop being investigagted suggests that the system in Florida is working to catch and prosecute a dirty cop, if he turns out to be one. If not, then it's good to know either way.
