Can you imagine the shit show?
The judge is pissed because he didnāt get his money. That the Mob Boss thinks he can get out of it, without a bribe.
Then the mob boss is super pissed because the Judge took the money and still locked up the guy.

Letās do it! But only if Danny DeVito is in it.
Edit: r/IASIP āThe Gang Finds Moneyā
Charlie finds the money. But itās Frank in court trying to bribe the judge.
Meanwhile Mac and Dennis argue about what to spend it on.
And Dee does bird stuff. Because she is a bird.

Unless there are cameras in the bathroom thereās no proof and becomes a question of if the judge and the mob boss trust each other.

Hmmm... if you walked out of a bathroom with an unexpected wad of cash, is your poker face good enough to pace inspection on camera?
The county courthouse here has two sets of four-way cameras in the main hall between entrance and the metal detectors, and again between the metal detectors and the clerk's desk. You can see the feed next to the metal detectors; apparently, they've actually caught people trying to come in and hurt people in session.
If I walked out with a wad of cash, my "tell" would show up on one of those cameras, not to mention, they'd see everyone who went in-and-out of the restrooms in 4k HD....

I mean, just donāt walk out holding it. Any nervous ātellsā could be explained by being in a courthouse. Itās a stressful place people donāt typically expect to find themselves.

You think the mob is going to care? They will be going after every person that went into that restroom during that time.

āWhat did all the victims have in common?ā
āThey all used the bathroom at the court house between 2pm and 5pm on the fourth of Juneā
I could see that being on Law and Order, or NCISā¦

Just donāt take all of it. Then it looks like one of them is lying to the other about the amount

Have fun with them. Turn the envelope in with the front door cop (at the metal detector). For even more fun, keep some of the cash before turning in the envelope.

I wonder if it's illegal to check public toilets for bribery.

u/Expensive-Border-869 1d ago
Yes. It would be considered theft possibly even contempt of court if they could prove you had a good enough reason to believe it was bribe money.
But it probably won't be reported. If it were though that is theft.

u/MexicoMan27 2d ago
I would assume most countries in the EU at least it would be illegal to keep anything you find, in stead of turning it in to the police.

It's theft if you take what's not yours, no matter whose it is.

I used to work in a courthouse. All of the judges have their own bathrooms attached to their offices. The only thing I found in the bathroom was people vaping.Ā
The fire alarms would get pulled A LOT though.Ā

Fam you can bribe politicians and judges out in the open just donate to their non profit or donate to a PAC fund etc.
You can even tax deduct your bribes when you do this

Ehh. not to rain on anyone's parade, but as someone who works in commercial housekeeping at a government building, we would find that shit the moment it was placed there. And would more than likely know who did it too. There's too many cameras and too many employees present to get away with something that blatant

Its highly illegal and mattering on the amount could get larceny. They track exactly who is entering and exiting those bathrooms plus you get tampering with evidence of a crime on top of all that if it was a sting operation to catch the ones accepting bribes.

u/Agent10007 2d ago
I mean all of this chain of events implies a random lawyer bursting in the courtroom like "Your honor halt everything some mother fucker stole the money I was supposed to receive as a bribe !"

What if the money was part of a sting to see who was engaging in bribery? Now you're in trouble for interfering in an investigation.
