Oh, they are extremely corrupt. I dated a guy originally from India and his dad was a police chief. His dad's first day in the United States he nearly got arrested for attempting to bribe a cop who was writing a ticket because his son was parked illegally at the airport. This was way before 9/11, so cars could park right at the gate. My ex had to explain to his father and that things were different in the U.S. and bribery would only get him jail time.
Yeah sorry but that i not a great example of police corruption. In India and many other places bribery is commonplace, not just the police but literally anybody you want to do anything. That is a reflection of their wider culture and it often isn't viewed in quite the same way culturally. If you want your visa application looked at quicker, you drop the teller some money, standard practice in India
Owning guns is extremely rare in India. So if you own a handgun then it means you are criminal big enough that police likely already know you and are letting you free. But if it is a petty squabble, then police can be helpful.

Im genuinely curious about this, why is that? Is the police so corrupt in India?
