When someone suddenly changes from being relaxed and easygoing to being aggressive rude or obnoxious. A shady part of a person's personality that comes out at times.

When one of two 'cops' alternate their interviews. The 'Bad Cop' behaves negatively toward the subject, making blatant accusations, derogatory comments, threats, and in general raising the subject's antipathy. This sets the stage for the 'Good Cop' to deceptively act supportive, understanding, defensive, and in general show sympathy for the subject, which may make the subject cooperative towards the latter.
Pledge 1: "Dude, how about what Tiffany, the bad cop, said at the pledge meeting last night?"
Pledge 2: "Oh I know man. It made me feel so terrible. I'm just glad Danny was there to make us all feel better."

The Kickass part of an interrogation. There are three types of bad cop: Black: Usually looks like Samuel Jackson. Has a white guy pull him off the suspect when he gets angry and starts beating people up. White: Has cool shades and a black leather jacket and, opposite of his black counterpart, has a black good cop pull him off of people. Asian: Usually looks like the average cop until someone does something bad. Then, HE OPENS A CAN OF KICKASS AND LAYS THE SMACK DOWN ON DEESE FOOLS WITH SOME MUAY THAI BOXING AND SHOOTS LASER BEAMS FROM HIS EYEBALLS AS HE BECOMES ONE WITH HIS INNER DRAGON!
Man, shouldn't have messed wit dat bad cop. That Boy was Asian and kicked my unsuspecting, treacherous ass!

A long-time tactic employed in police interrogation, to force a suspect to drop his guard and open up. Now, a duality threatening the fabric of American social justice.
Standing in a line of peaceful protestors seeking acknowledgment of racial injustice, unsure as to whether the well-armed men before him would protect him or attack him, he saw clearly - the good cop bad cop routine had taken to the streets.

A very risky sexual endeavor likely to be confused as rape. To successfully complete the good cop/bad cop routine, two male friends, similar in body mass and height, must first plan how the routine is to be carried out. One friend (the good cop) must ask his girlfriend or other "partner" to participate in foreplay. The good cop must dress up as a police officer and proceed to handcuff the female to the bed. He then must put on a mask and and leave the room. After leaving the room he is to hand the mask off to his friend (the bad cop) and tag him in. The bad cop, dressed exactly as the good cop, is then free to complete whatever sexual activity he wants on the female. It is considered common courtesy to remove the mask and reveal the true identity of the bad cop, but it is optional to leave the mask on and switch back without the female finding out.
