i heard this idea and thought i'd share it.

We all know that bribbing a cop is illegal.

But cops don't make a lot of cash, one way to maybe get out of a ticket and the loss of points if you've done something you shouldn't have on the road.

With your insurance and registration, slip a folded $100 bill in the packet of paperwork.

when they take a long look at your info they can see it there, then they have a choice.
If asked you can say it was you emergency money it must have fallen in the packet.

sounds like it might be worth a try.

The only drawback I see is that you'd piss off the occasional cop who takes the job too seriously. It would be very interesting to see how many would be willing to take the money.
 
First off, Cops do make decent money compared to other countrys, ie Jamaica, and they very likely would think of it as a set up. I wouldn't risk my job for a few bucks, I doubt they would either, at least most of them anyway. You might just find yourself with another charge that you'd have to defend yourself on.
 
there is no garentee that a cop won't just take it and stick you with a ticket. or one taht won't bitch about trying to pay her off. but at least this way they can't prove you wanted get a pay off.
 
Dude, what are you? TWELVE?

Just take the ticket....and fight it if you want but what you're suggesting is like trying to get out of a resisting arrest charge by shooting a cop!

First problem with your plan is to even suggest that the money is for the cop will get you charged. Sure you can plead your case with the judge but ANY judge will know what it is...a BRIBE

Secondly 99% of the cops ask you to take your Licence etc out of any wallet or holder you have so the only way you're going to be able to OFFER him or her money is to purposely put it there.

Thirdly, as stated, cops make pretty good money at their regular pay then amazing money with paid duty etc. so your $100.00 is peanuts. $100.00 now is like a $20.00 was 10 years ago.

Fourthly: how does the cop know it's not a setup? As stated, would YOU risk your career and possbly prison for $100.00??? If you say yes, you would risk your job you've got a LOT of growing up to do......

Sorry, but this is the dumbest idea since catching bullets with your teeth....
 
Dumbest idea I ever heard. Cops make lots of money. Then there's all the overtime (that we pay for) fo them to stand around Skydome and ACC during events, and every damn road construction site in the city.

They're not going to risk the entire career on a corruption charge for $100.

Hey that is a great idea - how about you try it out and then while you are a guest of the Province you should write to us about it. :D

Just helping to cull the gene pool....

agree with the above quote: they will not risk their job for $100. they will charged you with bribery rather than counter charging him with accepting bribery if he take it. in third world country you can but not in developed countries.

Guess this is 1 reason the Toronto police chief like video cameras in all cop cars. Now the police union is against it but if you and the officer is on audio tape and video-which the cop can not tamper with-hes not taking the bribe and your ass is going to jail!

BTW...I would think it take more than $100 to bribe a law officer. Heck thats not even enough:p for 1 outcall date

One of two things are likely to happen: The Police Officer is feeling kindly disposed and you otherwise aren't acting like a horse's ___, and he or she "reads you the Riot Act," informally warns you and writes you paperwork; or, they aren't feeling kindly disposed, or you are acting like a horse's ___ and they arrest you for attempted bribery.

In the former case you'd better hope that you have a very good lawyer, the Police Officer was dropped on their head as a child and the Crown Attorney was just assigned four homicide cases.

i.e.: this is an extraordinarily unwise idea! Don’t do it! :mad:

Sorry, you're wrong. Police at special events and road work are paid for by the private organization that requires police presence.

For eg: during road work: the construction company pays the police for traffic control and unless it is specifically written into the contract otherwise, the city doesn't pay for it.

When you see police at skydome or a concert, the promoter pays for the police presence.

Same as for funerals, etc. Now if it is a public event, say like carribana that takes place on city streets, then the city is paying for the police.

There's a few good answers on here, but this was the first thing that I thought of. Maybe I'm just cynical :)

There is a reason why cops say "take the license and insurance out of your wallet please".

Exactly. It also has something to do with touching your property... I remember our Prof talking about this in a lecture he gave us in a law class a few years ago, but I can't remember it exactly.

The best way to get out of a ticket is be nice with the cop, Yes sir.. No sir... etc.

95% of them will tell you to file a court date, and in most cases they won't show up. But if you give the cop a reason to show up, because you were acting like a jack ass.. then that's your own problem.

Even if you do go to court, and the cop shows up, before you even step foot in the court room the crown will try and cut you a deal in order to save time.

what traffic officer do you know that makes more than 80k?

my bro-in-law works OPP highway patrol and makes $58k... but, the benefit plan is good. he's been on the job 3 years now.
