lol ! woiee !
5) Offer a bribe – If the waiting game doesn’t work, you can choose to offer a bribe – which is much easier than going through the MULTA process. Average Police officers earn the equivalent of $150 per month – that’s 5 bucks a day. Therefore, it’s not surprising that all police officers take bribes to supplement their incomes…especially from unsuspecting Gringos who would rather pay than deal with the hassle of getting a ticket. Wait until he has his pen out and is writing you the MULTA. This is the point of no return – you will either get a ticket or he will accept a bribe. It’s easier to bribe a Police officer when he is alone (For this reason, I recommend pulling over 100m or so away from any check-point with multiple officers. The officer will have to walk out of his way to approach you and will usually be alone.)
•Keep your bribe money separate - That way, you can reach in your pocket, wallet, or wherever you keep it and say “this is all that I have”. They won’t believe you, but it looks better than pulling out a wad of cash and only offering them part of it.
•Be discreet – Bribes are common, but they are still frowned upon. Don’t offer bribes when multiple officers are present. Don’t wave bills out the window.
•Make it sound more “legal” – Offering money to avoid a ticket is a bribe no matter how you look at it. Try offering to “help the Police pay for gas” in return for not having to drive all the way to the Police Station to collect your license. They will end up pocketing your money anyway, but it will be looked upon more favorably and give the officer a moral rationalization.
•Don’t ever pay more than $20 for a bribe -Besides ruining it for the rest of us, you are wasting your money. You can always let them take your license and issue the ticket. It will cost you less than $20 to get a new license when you get home.
