Checkpoint bribe

- Traffic Violations
- Paid INR 200
Hi, I was traveling with my family in Mumbai (I reside in the U.S., and am not familiar with the exact highway we were on. There was a checkpoint of some sort, and our driver did not have the appropriate paperwork. The policeman who was in charge of checking made some indirect comments about how there was a way he would let us through. My father pulled out some cash from his wallet, and we were let through.
This seems embarrassing to me, but I was told "this is India, and this is how things work here. Get used to it."
