You can talk all you want. But no matter what you propose, it boils
down to how much the cop is willing to take for a bribe vs how much is
wasted going to court in terms of time, criminal record and court
fines. What you are all doing here is building the top stories of a
tall building suspended on a very weak and unstable base. We rank 4th
world wide corruption wise. Increasing the fine amounts through a
traffic act only improves the bargaining power of the cop. "Utanipatia
elfu tatu ama unaka kwenda kortini utoe elfu kumi?" And then you think
ah if I give the three K it'll save me time and money because even if
I become patriotic and go to court, they\ll eventually embezzle the
funds, then say funds have been embezzled, form a commission to
investigate the case which runs on the same money. The commission
comes up with a report that is totally non conclusive and then it
becomes a double loss. That's the basics of the logic.
