I was going to say that too, but in corrupt countries, you&#x27;ll get fined for speeding whether you were speeding or not - and expected to bribe the &#x27;officer&#x27; regardless. It&#x27;s not paying a policeman something then and there that&#x27;s the problem - for you it&#x27;d become the fine for speeding - but it&#x27;s having to pay without having done anything wrong. It&#x27;s the power abuse associated with it that&#x27;s wrong.
