Setting a job title as mentioned allows staff to regulate the roleplay occurring at the time. My understanding of the description is that it is to describe your character physically, though it's commonly used to summarise the character instead.
My interpretation of 3.5 would be that as long as your custom job represents the job you are doing i.e. being a DJ and playing music rather than shooting up the Town Hall. Whereas with a Police Officer you can be corrupt because you're still actually doing your job as a police officer, but with a little corrupt twist to it.

Shouldn't really be necessary. "Corrupt" and "Police Officer" are pretty much synonyms.

This a thousand times. Even during FBI roleplay if we're just walking around in normal clothing and we just have our jobs set people instantly change how they're acting when they have no reason to IC.

It does nothing but encourage unprovable metagaming and restrict peoples RP abilities.
This is a fantastic point too. It's easy for a staff member to say metagaming will be dealt with because you can do something about it when it happens to you. For players it's damn near impossible to prove in-game, and posting a player report would be ridiculous because a lot of the time the person can lie their way out of it or the proof would not be sufficient (as metagaming is extremely hard to prove).

If I am honest, I think setting a job should be still around however actually displaying the job you are playing is only accessible to the Moderators and Administrators for Moderation Purposes, therefore, people are only able to make assumptions about their role in what they are wearing which is how I it works in real life because you would never know anyone working with the police and I think colours shouldn't be a thing also.
The player should still be able to see their own.

Whilst this may be useful, what if you want your job to be public? For example "President" becoming Dictator? That would be known by everyone however on the system you suggest it would still display as President.
Not saying your idea isn't a good one, just flawed in places.

Yep, along with a
"Visible ID [ ]" checkbox.
If it's ticked then you're details will be visible to people and you can show up on the scoreboard.

Dictatorship seems more high-key overt when compared to acts of corrupt policing.

Why would you want your job to be public? If you're a dictator, you aren't going to tell everyone and their mother about it. Do you think Kim Jong-un calls himself a dictator?
