I think Teddy Roosevelt is a very good example concerning this. When he became a Police commissioner in NYC he enforced the law about no alcohol on Sunday. This was a law that no one enforced, instead bars would pay cops to look the other way. It was very unpopular enforcing this law, but his point was if you don't enforce unpopular laws it promotes corruption. The way to deal with a bad law is to change it. They changed the law and he cleaned up corruption.
