Bribing a police

This tutorial is not for murderers, rapists and politicians.

This how - to guide consists of 3 parts based on police officer.

1. The police who caught you for the bribe will imply what he wants. Like saying nonsense rules which don’t exist. For example, once a police caught me because I have earphones plugged in my ears and according to him its violation of law. It clearly indicates he is looking for money. There will be no way out, because we can’t argue with them about laws. He will simply say discuss those with the judge. So agree soon and give him some money.

Another way a police will ask for money is by cooking a story, like telling us that they have received a complaint against us, so they have come. Easy way to escape is to bribe him; it could be as low as 25% of the fine amount.

This type of police is easy to handle, they know what they want and we know what they want and without much ado both parties jump into the actual business talk.

2. Type two are like opportunists, they wait for you to offer bribe with no specific cues. The only clue to offer money is , he will hold the pen and pad, and asks you as if threatening “you want me to write a fine or not?”

3. While first two types are mostly rude, the third type is soft. Like bargaining tomatoes at vegetable market. They literally beg, “give some amount you like” will be the phrase. Or they are too sophisticated and act as if bribe taking is part of the job, there will be no change in the modulation of tone. The constable in safari suite, who come to enquire when we applied for passport is the example.

And those who don’t take bribe, they simply fill the form, collect the fine and will ask you to leave.
In any case, its just not the money the police is looking for , the power of uniform and arms will be in the head. One cant afford to talk in a disrespectful way with them,
