Paid fine but did not get receipt from Police station (a kind of bribe)

Reported on March 17, 2011 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #25992

I don't remember the exact ********** but i guess it was 2008.
My 2 wheeler was lifted from No-Parking (later i was told that the place is no parking as there was no such marking left on the road). I went police station to collect my vehicle, i was told to pay fine of Rs 150, which I paid. After paying the amount i was told that PI is gone out for lunch and you will have to wait for the receipt. I waited for about an hour but he didn't turn up (if at all he had gone out). Finally the Hawaldar told me that i can not gurantee when he will be back, I can't help. I had no other option but to leave with out receipt.
So this is as good as giving bribe (which went to COP's pocket)

What is your reaction after reading this report?
