It's easy to forget just how corrupt government and law enforcement can get. In America, try to bribe a police officer and you'll quickly find yourself in jail. Other countries, it's almost expected that you bribe police (and indeed, the true reason you just got pulled over might be to shake you down)

Driving in several of the Balkans since the 90s with German license plates always required keeping some cash on hand to buy the officer's lunch. It's probably not true any more for Croatia since its acceptance into the EU, but we still had this experience in Bosnia and Serbia up through the 2010s.

Doubt. Croatian police face hefty fines if they take bribe. Source: have several close friends in the police.

I think I might have addressed this in an edit while your comment was posting. I agree fully on Croatia. It could happen in the 90s but the country has changed a lot since then.

This is something we're working on though (in the US).
