- Top 10 most corrupt cities in the United States.
Political corruption isn’t just in Washington, DC with presidents, members of Congress or Senators. we have seen police officers indicted, elected city officials hauled off in handcuffs, and influence peddling operations with politicians reaching all new lows.
If you are looking for signs of corruption you need to start with budget shortfalls, rumors of nepotism, corrupt police departments, and city officials going on vacation with real estate developers. Those are just a couple of the warning signs.
Thanks for checking out the channel. I hope you enjoyed today's video. If there is a state, city or town you'd like us to do a video about let us know in the comment section.

Politics and corruption always seem to be together like pea’s and carrot, like movies and popcorn, like poor decision making and Jagger meister, like...you get the idea.
Thanks for stopping by The world according to Briggs, I make lists. Not just lists of random stuff, I make them about states, cities, towns, and other places in the United States. I post 3 times a week and sometimes live stream. Enjoy.

Who remembers when Mayor Barry of DC. got caught buying coke in a hotel room sting,...and then got re-elected as Mayor six months later. ?
When he got busted I told the wife “resume enhancement” for a Demoncrat, he’s a shoe in.
That only proves that not only are politicians of DC corrupt, but that their constituents support and admire them for it.
DC is worse now with the most corrupt President in history. He is actually killing America's spirit. Its so embarrassing!
I loved how Petey Green ran him down on his radio & TV show. Classic.
He was smoking crack with a hooker. Unreal!
Politicians and diapers need to be changed often and for the same reason.
And yet we continue to re-elect the same people and will not force term limits!
Very good....well said
@dave freeman great catch mark Twain comes up with good ones! LoL
I hadn't heard this one. LOL
As a teen a friend said in a battle of wits you'd be unarmed, and for decades I thought that girl made up that quote. I found out it was Shakespeare and called her and said OMG you plagerizer!!!! LoL
Personally I do say who originated a quote when I use one of theirs.
I would of pointed it out to had I known.

I thought Chicago was going to be #1; thanks for reminding me that DC is a city.
The term "Columbia" refers to Columbus. He in my mind was a savage bastard and not just the man who discovered the New World.

"There's no corruption in Chicago." Signed, convicted aldermen, cops, judges, City employees, contractors, lobbyists, lawyers, and relatives of those people.
There a reason why chicago the windy city and it has nothing to do with the bad weather.
Miami. Almost every last skyscraper you see was funded by drug & blood money.
I would say not top ten worthy in modernity; now in the eighties/nineties, absolutely!
overbanked I’d agree. My point was that the cartel drug & blood money is almost literally why the skyline looks the way it does today. I don’t think any city in America has a shady origin of development like Miami does.
Sad but makes since
I’m not from Miami
@@bobsagetsbastarddaughter4591 Fair enough
The city that cocaine built!
I remember Red Skelton saying something like, "Politicians have it rough, first they're sworn in, then they're cussed out."

What happened to Philadelphia I grew up in Philly and it's always been corrupt do to voter fraud. Yeah I have seen it for decades that's why it's a lost cause and why people don't vote in Philly because it's already fixed and has been from the 60s on through today and because its Philly I belive the vote was rigged.
Don't mention their mayors are Democrats.
@@Sierra462 Seattle politicians are too incompetent to be corrupt.
Thank you!
The most corrupt city won’t be the one with the most convictions, as the police would be corrupt as well.
Everyone knows that there is a lot more cronyism is small towns. I know personally because I grew up in one. The cops/judges were all family/friends with the criminals, etc.. Pretty much anyone who was not friends with the judge or cops would have to go to a higher court if they didn’t want to to automatically have their case thrown out.
Washington D.C. also known as the District of Criminals : -)
@William McNarney DC has been corrupt since it's first day.
You bet for decades early 90’s had the highest crime rate still are certain pockets. Surprised no city in Florida cane on that list. Corruption are all over the world. They should most corrupt countries in the world.

@@thexrayman50 wdym look at la
Washington DC where you can be the mayor get busted in a FBI sting smoking crack with hookers and get reelected. It sounds like something that used to happen in the Soviet Bloc before the Wall came down and it's probably still going on like in the Ukraine. Can you say Marion Barry sure you can. Why was he re-elected? He's a Democrat. I really can't remember the last time I Democrats been held accountable for any crime
The whole state of Illinois should make the list
He should have talked about how many of the governors have gone to jail.
Illinois’ not a city?
Facts
There is another list of 10 most corrupt state. IL is #2.
d. nuzzio Sad, because what I have seen of Chi, it is a beautiful city. I hope to one day see the section where all the FL Wright homes are.
Baltimore is not turning around - are you serious? Have you ever been there?
One of the most scary places in the US.
have u? i live there lol....
Check out "The Rats of Baltimore". The city is overrun by rats. The people who live there have some serious rats. One segment shows a rangy tom cat not messing with them One man would catch the rats with a fishing pole and his buddy would club them with a bat.
Fells Point and Federal Hill and Little Italy and multiple other parts of Baltimore are fine I have been in 45 states
You forgot to bring up Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh having to resign last year due to rampant corruption.
And now she's charged
It will never change
Elijah Cummings MD rep recently died. He boasted how great Baltimore was on TV 📰💰📑 then his own 🏡 was broken into. 🙄. RIP Rep Cummings ⚰
They didn't even come close to the corruption in Baltimore
@James Buttler Oh, isn't that just HORRIBLE? Idiot.
You forgot to mention Detroit having a mayor in federal prison currently.
The4thperson fuck kwame
and they would elect him again if he got out ; that is how sad it is
Damn... that was my hood too. They workn on getting Kilpatrick out
Pittsburgh PA had there PD chief serve federal BoP time. Orlando Florida Orlando.gov 👨🏿🚒 FD chief got "me-tooed" by the EEOC, he retired with full benefits, pension. 💰📑📰. I think chief Rod Williams was burned & his EEO complaints were bogus. Chief Williams spoke out openly about Pulse 🏳️🌈 & ticked off the FBI, DHS.
The4thperson yea and so does chitcago
I love this. But based on new information I believe this list should be updated. Great work
Thanks Briggs. I'm sharing this. Timing is everything in life.
Definitely not surprised to see Chicago and NYC on this list.
I remember back in 2012 hearing about houses in Detroit selling for a jaw dropping low 35k. Isn't worth it if you're the victim of multiple property crimes as well as placing your life at risk.
I've heard they're $1 in Gary, IN.
Now let's not forget Flint. I discovered just recently in a real estate site that some places in Flint are much cheaper than Detroit.

Pittsburgh. Brick house $9000. Lots on both side $250 each.

I love your channel. I appreciate all the research you do. American cities need a lot of work.
Chicago's only number 2?! (I'm a native Chicagoan and grew up there.) Still room for improvement! 😊
Don't worry, Chicago is #1 now in 2021. We made it to the top!

@@edwinmendezforlife Washington, D.C. is a city
Who run these cities without exception? ( Hint: the letter D stands out...)
Yep and as usual, the top of the lists are always demoncrat controlled city's and are making them worse every day. As they even encourage illegal criminals to escape justice in their illegal sanctuarys, and only contribute to the crime rate 😡
Can’t believe San Francisco missed out corruption is the norm.
San Francisco paid this guy to keep them off of this list.
It could be #11
@ Lol, that's funny!
San Francisco requires Uber and Lyft drivers to obtain a business license. SF is just so greedy.
Joe
They see the articles about the homeless and think it’s the entire city. Wishful thinking on the part of the “Kommiefornia” zealots who want to find any reason to think Democrats are evil socialists; which is laughable.
Thanks for the info
Excellent! It’s nice to get a laugh during these sad times and be reminded “our leaders” a term I use lightly with a touch of sarcasm, have always been a mix of good and bad.
I’m going to share this with my millennial children so they realize this is always been going on!
thank you!
Yet the masses STILL vote for them, because they're compelled to by OTHER people who fear that not voting will make people isolate themselves from each other (Don't vote, Don't Complain), even though EVERYBODY AS AWHOLE agrees that politicians SUCK. So basically people keep each other in line. The elite really don't have to do anything. The masses do their work for them. It's scary.
Since then said mayor of Baltimore herself faces trial on kickback charges... over children's books!
Healthy Holly!
Marion Barry (D) ran for reelection for mayor of the city of Washington, in the District of Columbia, and won!!
That's so low that they should tack lewd behavior onto the charges. If she doesn't get convicted of racketeering they will get her for public lewdness and lets see how far that tag gets her.
remember when Cummings was being investigated for missing millions for Baltimore and the rat issue then he died a hero?
Nancy's family were some of Baltimores worst!
Being a Native San Franciscan who has lived in LA for the last 4 years, I am shocked daily by the corruption in this city. Don’t get me started about the LA Veterans Medical Center.
Thank you for being honest about the corruption in DC being all parties and not a specific party or admin. It’s always been just as corrupt if not worse. This is just the first admin that doesn’t go out of their way to hide it like the others did.
I can't believe that you didn't put San Francisco in this list. Willie Brown, Gavin Newsom, London Breed and a host of others.
And that’s barely touching the surface let alone scratching it!
Washington DC, in the 1990s, re-elected a mayor (Marion Berry) who had spent time in federal prison after leaving office the first time
I guess people don't learn from their mistakes.
He smoked crack. Literally!
Bitch set me up!!! Barry was actually a good mayor. Supports the local economy for sure $50 at a time. He did bring some jobs to DC for the locals. I always enjoyed watching Barry. He was pretty bad ass.
To be fair, a good argument can be made that corruption is the real business of Washington, DC.
@@steveboynton5040 either do voters.
I always laugh when I hear US politicians claim that there is so much corruption in Mexico or other countries, I think they learned from US politicians.
Great Britain taught us and we passed it on.
@Bill DeSmet trump is corrupt. How is he fixing it. Ask the people in Atlantic City did he fix it. The tax cut didn't fix. And now he doing again giving big money to those who got the big tax cuts. If you're rich you may feel that way. Poor and middle class losing. Where is the middle class tax break he promised doing the '18 elections? I'll wait!!!
Bill DeSmet : pull your head out trump’s ass. The guy is the most corrupt , scammer, con man president ever.
@Bill DeSmet that's why the swamp hates him
Bill DeSmet by commuting sentences of corrupt politicians? Yeah that fixes EVERYTHING
Thank you for this information. I will make sure to avoid these cities after we are allowed to travel again. Stay home for Thanksgiving and the covid spread.
Great list!
Where’s my beloved Miami? The city’s motto should be “You got the money, I got no questions”
Miami's City motto should be, "We look the other way."
Cadillac Kadafi Because Miami’s corruption is legendary and widely known by everyone over the age of 30. It’s not THAT we want it on the list, but god knows it deserves to be called out for it’s shameful ways.
Miami’s a great city and county. But yes probably some corruption. I think Orlando should have gotten on the list tho
I literally came to the comments to say “what about Miami?”
As a former resident, I expected to see Miami on this list. 👍🏻on the motto, smartalec 88!
Baltimore Maryland Will NEVER change! I lived there over 50 years,,,,Retired an got the HELL out of Maryland.

Sad that a state named after the Virgin Mary would be so horrible to live in. Briggs forgot to mention that Baltimore has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the country and second highest in the world.
@@georgeharleydavidsonrider156 Yeah i wont be going back to MD once im out of the Army, that place is horrible and it keeps getting worse.
sour airhead It probably is. It’s not Baltimore. That’s an overreaction
very interesting !
Birmingham, Ala, is where the corruption is thicker than the pollution and humidity combined. Good video.
Wasn’t Corey Booker the mayor of Newark for most of that time??
Forget Corey Booker, Sharpe James was the crook of Newark, he was jailed for fraud.
Spartacus
Booker followed James as Mayor.
Corey Booker was elected to, what senator?, because he can speak without always making a fool of himself and the potential for much bigger graft.
I am totally surprised that a city is more corrupt then Chicago.
As a native son N.Y.C. no sir it's #1! NewYork is so corrupt these people are trying to fund and bulid and maintain a museum of New York corruption as a native I am ashamed!!!
agreed, but when I saw it was Washington D.C. I was like, "okay, I get that"

Briggs do a top ten in $$ taken by states in: Civil asset forfeiture then do one top 10 cities for the same. U could do a third on counties too!!🤓
Meter maid gone bad.....I would go to the theater to see that one with all the action you described. Good one, Briggs. Thanks and take care.
It sounds like a weird porno movie lol
St Louis not being on here is a shocker. Also shocked that no one mentioned STL so far.
St. Louis and Detroit always go neck and neck for crime capital of America.
Missouri is a dump!
Good stuff😀👍🏼
Thank you for this vidio
Personally, if these corrupted officials had to time in prisons that are not minimum security resorts, they may think twice!
Nice to see my home town Newark NJ on this list, I personally would of been offended is it was not on here.
Suprised he forgot to mention that Corey Booker was the chairperson or the President (I can’t remember which) for the now defunct NWCDC. Mr. Booker said he didn’t know what was going on because he was too busy with his Mayoral duties, and let his friend take the fall. Trust me it was hard to dig up that information, but I found it.
The whole state of California should be number one
True
Who state of Michigan should
100 percent agree!
California has a lot of nice places tho, Alabama, Mississippi probably have around 2-3% as much nice areas as California has
When I am feeling down, I turn to Briggs for a pick me up. Works every time. He has the greatest ability to say things that may hack you off, while making you feel great about it. He always has his facts and figures correct....and he takes no prisoners. The man has the greatest sense of humor of anyone on RUclips.
New Orleans got caught on video one time going down a street and pulling up the timed parking signs and changing them to no parking. They had a bunch of tow trucks with them that were towing the cars as soon as they changed the signs.
Baton Rouge loves trying to get people for having no insurance. Tried to get me 3 years after I moved out of Louisiana and had to get more insurance than they require. I had to contact my district attorney to get them to quit harassing me.
Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii. True story, people would park their car in timed parking lot and go on glass bottom boat ride that was supposed to get back in time to move the car before time was up. Guess what, the 2 days we stayed there the boat came back later. They had tow trucks waiting for the time to run out and towed immediately. Hmmmm!🤔
I think it's more of Louisiana and not just New Orleans.
Sounds like something Boss Hogg used to do back in Hazzard County.
Corrupt, lazy trash state
“Corruption on both sides”
You do realize every single one of these cities has a Democrat mayor even Houston.
And that is not a coincidence.
I call them the evil party and the stupid party. Probably the only reason more republicans don’t show up on lists like this is because they’re too inept to pull it off successfully. Just my humble libertarian opinion.
Name a big city with a Republican mayor. Republicans live in the suburbs.
mjpottertx - Harry LaRosiliere is a republican if plano Texas, happiest city according to business insider.
Edit: Also Jacksonville, San Antonio, San Diego, Fort Worth all doing just fine.
Edit: (one is independent)
I'm triggered by you dissing Houston's mayor..... What's wrong with having a boy toy on the public payroll? 😎😎
As always, Honolulu Hawaii is ignored. That's definitely one of the most blatantly corrupt places in the US.
How ? Its mostly build on military hotels tourism tropical climate.

Not really surprised with this list. Kinda expected to see a Florida city but this list just seems very accurate. Smh
I thought New York would be number one.
Chicago is #2 only because there are so many corrupt feds in DC. Not sure they should count.
I'm not surprised...
I would think Philadelphia is one of them but I guess I was wrong
What city in Florida were you expecting. Is it Citrus County?
If you’ve seen the wire you knew Baltimore was gonna be on this list before you even clicked on the video
Baltimore.... WOW 😮... Who Knew!!
Thank you.
Forgot about the baltimore mayor selling "books" to hospitals.
That never got released. Old Ellie got his money for that but karma bam
Oh Baltimore is known for it too
The wire on Hbo did you see that.
Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago..see a pettern here? And D.C. number 1. Cesspools.
Ya there all (minus Chicago) are black cities. Hmm...racist much?
Crooked Politicians.
That’s funny about the DMV bribes in Los Angeles. I hear ya.I didn’t know that was a option? 😀
Without reading comments and waiting until the list finishes up, calling Detroit.
Some things kept happening to me between 2001 and 2005 in one of the 7 counties of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis & St.Paul Metro area. I could have gone to the press with my story and had a lawyer sue 3 Cities and one county government, but instead I filed a complaint and it all stopped. It would have definitely been in the news.
I find it interesting that the corrupt cities are dominated by Liberal politicians.
My guesses are: LA, New Orleans, Detroit, Washington DC, Cleveland, Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, NYC, and Providence.
Pittsburgh PA had major problems too. The police chief 👮🏾♂️ was busted for graft, misconduct.
Detroit has more fields of green now (no more derelict houses) meaning more ringneck pheasants. Saw one today.
An enterprising person looking to make some money (legally), would start farming all that land. I would
Would love to sea 2021 version of this..maybe add another 10 or 20 places.
I live in a small city of about 4000 people. Small municipalities are just as bad as big ones. Once the township became a city, property valuations skyrocketed for no legit reason, and they spent about million on the volunteer fire department.🤔 Rice Lake, Minnesota
I agree with you about small towns but them spending a million on volunteer fire departments is a good thing, they need all the extra money they can get for equipment and the training.
Before watching: (in my head) congratulations Chicago, you made the list
You should do one on small town/suburban corruption. That’ll be quite informative.
Thank you
I guessed all cities correctly... except Houston. I thought it would be Miami.
Agreed; some of the political stunts in Miami are pure crazy. 🌴

Exactly, if there were a #11, it'd be San Francisco. In the last 3 years, they've made a Billion (yes, with a B) bicks more than the year before. A city with a population of about 825k-850k, and they make $13Bil. . . some states would love to have that. And they're claiming "poor mouth." After the essentials (public safety, schools, city services, etc. And they give away about $1.1Bil to nonprofits, which 1/4 are frauds --- where is the rest of the $$?!) there's nothing leftover. And before GoldenState chimes in, this SF native did move out, about an hour north. And if it weren't for family, I'd leave this corrupt, one-party, intolerant state. Though it is a beautiful state.

You should do one on corrupt courts and don't forget San Francisco and San Mateo!
You forgot one:Philadelphia. This city has not elected a Republican mayor since the 1950's. Many stories of corrupt city politics that would make your head spin.
True very true
I mean-- Philly is a crap shoot rn but after the history of the racist policies (1950 was not exactly golden if your complexion was darker than khaki shorts) , and Philly being mostly poc...I can't bame them if they don't trust republicans. Tho tbh corruption doesn't care who is on what side, folks with power tend to let greed be their main trait.

Kind of surprise that my city, Atlanta, isn’t on the list. There’s a fair amount of corruption here too.

Regarding the Untouchables in film; Desilu Productions had the T.V. series which ran from January 1959 through May 1963. It starred Robert Stack as Eliot Ness, and was narrated by Walter Winchell.
Such a good video!
Neither integrity or common sense seems common anymore.
I’m going to take a wild guess, that New Orleans is on this list.
You are correct
Definitely should've been in the top 3
The only shady thing I've done is lie about my age to get into the hotel gym
I tried to pay the traditional bribe to the health inspector at a meat market and was told "in Detroit we now have more integrity so from now on it is $200. a year more"... I am thinking of moving to Baltimore.
I would love a video "Top 10 states with the best small towns." Since there are so many small towns in the US and it can be overwhelming to talk about them individually, it would be cool to see what states generally have the nicest small towns. (May I suggest Iowa?)
Thanks for sharing im surprised Pennsylvania wasn't in that group
I'm offended that Philadelphia isn't on the list. We'll just have to try harder next year.
You lost some credibility when you start citing the untouchables movie as a source. That was highly fictionalized, as was Elliot Ness's role in taking down Capone.
Term limits are one great answer to the corruption problem, but the corrupt politicians will never let that happen.
I can't believe Miami wasn't on the list. Nothing gets done until someone gets "paid".
Want to chat?
I think Orlando would have gotten in there before miami. Miami is probably one of the least corrupt in Florida. North Florida is riddled with it
