If you don't bribe the officer, then you will get a traffic ticket -- or, as is the case of "Fargo," worse -- whether the honest officer is honest or dishonest. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Daca nu mituiesti ofiterul, te alegi cu o amenda -- sau, ca in "Fargo", mai rau de-atat -- si daca politistul e cinstit, si daca e necinstit: nu risti, nu castigi.
