HorneyMike- Maybe there is a reason you haven't heard any horror stories from anyone who has refuse to pay a bribe. It may be they are serving a sentence in some TJ prison. If TJ police have been fired as you say.....they are not stupid! Just like some cops in the USA they could plant evidence on you...like drugs... to protect their asses. Then you are looking at a major situation! I am sure they will cover each other asses just like some cops here in the USA. Again, it is just a matter of do you want to play Russian Rouellete in a country where are "guilty until proven innocent." As of your comment that you think it makes someone less of a man if they pay a bribe.... but you later say yourself that you would pay a bribe under truly extraordinary circumstances. Who are you to determine what a extraordinary circumstance and what is not. If you are looking to stand up for the principle of issues....there are much more noble issues in the world that could use your attention. There is a saying that applies to these issue...... "you need to know what fights are worth fighting for and which fights aren't worth fighting for".....I think most would agree this is a fight you are not going to win. I wish you all the luck in the world if you are confronted with this problem and choose to challenge TJ cops with your princples. But I think you are being a little harsh on those who choose to just pay the fine.
