"Sir, You Know You're Not in Illinois, Right?"

Smooth move, Asswipe.
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?

  2. CP88, I don't believe that even they are stupid enough to take a bribe that leaves electronic footprints.
