CORRUPTION, big and small
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfre ... ama-papers
I still remember the day I watched $10 change hands in a police station in SR, but real corruption is a far bigger
fish (like the tea-money for the stamp to go ahead with building a very modest house was a case of beer not
long ago then the sum shot up to $300) ... a very teeny-weeny example.
Remember the Germans (Swiss?) busted for running a jolly drug-tolerant guest house in SR?* One version was that it cost $20,000 for them
to skip away unjailed.
* As a pussy-whipped wretch, I was to craven-cowardly to ever go there, knowing well enough
that sooner or later the axe would fall and fearful of being a "found-on" as they say in Ireland
when the axe eventually fell.

The reference was to Villa Anjuna in SR.
Those who were caught as "found-on" were (it is said) fined $1,000 a head. It is claimed that the police helped
themselves to anything and everything worth nicking in the guests' bedrooms.

Quite simply put; people are pussy's nowadays. They get caught on the premises and the police say " You must pay us 1000$ or we will put you in prison"
Then there is always some dumb kid, usually an American, that freaks out and pays. News gets around fast in police circles.
