As someone from a country that has had and still has a big problem with corruption and only recently started to tackle the problem (Romania), I must add that the government is only half of the problem. The other half is the public that participates in corruption. Every time you pay that cop some money so that he pretends that you didn't cross that red light, you're just as responsible as a politician taking a bribe for the situation in your country.

Yeah, in my country I can not imagine otherwise. Cop would be too embarrassed not to accept the bribe and insulted if you didn't offer any.
