These days we are surrounded with different kind of frauds which may appear so small but they have harmful effects on our lives and even our society. With a quick careful look around our lives we can see many small illegal activities that are not obvious, and we do not notice them. Bribery is one of the illegal activities that is very harmful for society such as police bribery. Corruption in government organizations plays an important role in spreading bribery in many societies, and in particular in their law enforcement entities such as police departments.
If people do not obey the law of their land especially in countries with restricted laws, they must be punished, and would not have any chance to escape from the law enforcements. However, countries with corrupted system can encourage people to break the laws without being concerned about the consequence of their actions. Police bribery is one of the common issues in such countries. For instance, in Malaysia police bribery is very common, and people can get away from their crimes by bribery. I lived in Malaysia for 6 years, and I witnessed many briberies to avoid getting tickets for speeding, or even avoid getting DU and other crimes. Because of this problem, the number of accidents and other casualties is relatively high. I witnessed bribery on streets on a regular basis, even though I was a student at the time, and didn’t spend a lot of time outside. The case of bribery must have been a lot worse in a city as large as Kuala Lumpur. The link below is showing one of the many case of bribery that was captured on a video.
