Education as serving the interest of educationists:

The eventual establishment, meanwhile, of laws to provide a schooling that was both compulsory and free, was accompanied by major increases in costs. These included not only unprecedented expenses of growing bureaucracy but also the substantial costs of reduced liberty of families eventually caught in a choice-restricted monopoly system serving the interests not of the demanders but of the rent-seeking suppliers.

Law enforcement as serving the interest of the police:

Allowing the police to profit from assets seized from the rich illegal drug industry has a large impact on how police allocate their effort. Our Independent Institute report, Illicit Drugs and Crime, suggests that a state law allowing police to keep seized assets raises the ratio of drug arrests to total arrest by at least one-third. Police interests, not the public interest, seem to be at the root of the 1980s drug war.
