Yes, I thought about it. I tried to estimate the salary of the police officer and wanted to give him enough, but not too much. It was a difficult decision and I took some time to think this through, about one minute, but he was very patient. We had about $150 worth in Forint in the car and he saw the notes when I took out the $20. Probably $20 was on the high end, but not so much because it seems he shared the gain with his colleagues.
It seems that we were lucky.
And that's why corruption is bad. It creates wrong incentives and loss of security.

Hah. Now I stopped wondering about the friendliness of the officer.
