You write:

"But we also expect police officers, especially those wielding great power, to exercise the utmost care in peddling their special influence."

People with great power shouldn't be *peddling* their influence at all, as that means they are offering to use that influence to the benefit of anyone willing pay for it. I think what you meant was: "But we also expect police officers, especially those wielding great power, to use the utmost care in exercising that power."
