Reminds me of the one and only time I have bribed a cop. Joined the Air Force out of high school and was stationed in Phoenix Az. So one weekend 3 of us decided to go to Mexico ,mainly because we could drink legally in the bars. About 5 miles across the border a Mexican police car pulls up next to us and motioned for us to pull over, didn't even turn his lights on. I'm freaking the fuck out thinking I'm going to jail in a foreign country. So he tells me I was speeding ( don't think I was) and illegally transporting alcohol across the border because we had bought a case of beer with us. Totally freaking out now. Then he tells us to either give him 20 bucks American or follow him to jail. Of course I came up with the 20 quick ( only 20 because this was 1986). After a quick look around he took the 20 and walked back to his car without saying another word. He probably made a fortune off that scam. Still laugh everytime I think about it.
