  • Yes, dosens of times.

    I grew up in eastern europe and things work differently there.

    Oftentimes the cops would fish for bribes. Cops would pick you up on the street/stop you in traffic and search you/your car/whatever in hopes of finding something to hook onto and escalate the situation further and put you in a legally difficult situation.

    Then they would generously offer that they can make it all go away if somebody from your family comes and brings X amount of money.

    This didn’t happen just to me, in most countries of the former eastern block that’s just a fact of life.
