The best example I can think of of 'everyday badguys' in the Lensmen series is probably the weed-harvesting crew the lead character ends up with when he's trying to bust up their drug ring - they're involved in an operation whose end result is poison and destroyed lives, they know it and they don't really care, but their general attitudes and concern within the team could be any random group of mercenaries, even gold-rush miners.
