TROY, Mo. • A 22-year-old Illinois man is in custody after he allegedly offered to pay a police officer $100 not to write him a speeding ticket.That'll be good for maybe four years in a nice Crossbar Hotel somewhere in Missouri.
The old trick back in the day in Illinois was to fold up your license in a $20 and hand it to the cop. you certainly weren't supposed to do anything as gauche as ask the cop if he was willing to take a bribe.
Don't they teach kids in Illinois the proper etiquette of corruption anymore?
These days wouldn't the check consist of looking at the iPhone in the cop's front pocket, and if it has a credit card reader attached....
ReplyDeleteCP88, I don't believe that even they are stupid enough to take a bribe that leaves electronic footprints.
