Bribes taken by traffic cops to give back your license (bike)

Reported on August 22, 2011 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #4115

Its very commonly known that everytime a traffic cop catches you, you can pay them 50 or 100 rupees and get your license back. I was caught breaking a signal once in Powai and once in Bhandup in June 2011 and both the times I paid them 50 rs and took my license back. In the previous month, I was caught by a traffic cop for listening to music while riding bike and he again took 50 rs and gave me the license back. I tell this to my friends and family laughingly everytime. Its seriously a joke. Are they supposed to create nuisance or seriously catch people?
