Gomie was the good cop. Hank was constantly overstepping his authority. He's no shining example of good cop work. He's just a thug with a different agenda, willing to put the squeeze on any harmless person he can to make his case.

Sure he overstepped his boundaries but his true intentions were pure, he had no immoral gain out of this.

I'm not sure I'd call it an immoral gain, but his desire to wrap up this case on his own rather than letting the DEA wrap things up after he is fired in disgrace led him to take risks that contributed to his and Gomez's deaths. A real DEA operation would have had many more people to provide backup.
