English term or phrase: no one is going to look over our shoulder
This kind of guarded behavior largely maintained but reflected throughout the institutional ranks, is mainly the professional's doing. In a word, what this all adds up to is, "we're high and mighty, been to school for years, and no one is going to look over our shoulder-we have our own ethics and we folow them."
