Answer:

Malfeasance; nonfeasance.

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.
