Bribery

[Hitcher]

Queensland police.......... says it all really.

Amateurs compared to their NSW colleagues -- the best police force money can buy.

I just came back from Indonesia, the bribe catital of the world! $5us gets you through customs in quick time (ms corby forgot about this), the driver made a wrong turn so had to pay the cop equivilent of $2 (the cop put up the no turn right sign 2 minutes before we drove through as it wasn't their before or when we returned). Anything can be brought over their for a very cheep price.

What! Are you serious? I certainly hope not!

$US5 gets you through customs? Without waiting and being properly checked?

That's absolutely disgraceful. I'm shocked and disappointed. Someone ought to report this to the appropriate authorities for serious disciplinary action

I paid 50000 rupiah . That's about $US10. I was ripped off!. Bloody crooks, they're even overcharging on the bribes. Is there no honesty left in the world!

Was lurkin' on another biker site a few days back and there was a thread about a guy who got a speeding ticket when he was not speeding. Seemed a well healed sort because he was going to fight this come hell and high water. Some one asked him the lacale and as soon as he posted the location some one who lived in this area just said pay the fine and move on. Seems the judges are in on the corruption and get a cut of the pie in this place. Cop saw and interstate rego plate and swooped. s
Seemed common and not at all secret.

I know we bitch at times about our justice system.................but it's a lot better than some.
