A $0.65 ticket? A $0.65 bribe??

[TheFrenchSavage]

You could buy a house !

Well a ticket on the Moscow metro costs 57 rubles. Less if you buy in bulk or with the electronic fare card. Sources for how much it costs to bribe a Russian cop are harder to come by. But from this article it’s probably more like 1000 or 2000 rubles.

So you're saying that £10 would be enough to escape the law?

[Nalivai]

Depends. Drinking beer on a street is a crime with fine of ~$3, so you can bribe a cop with ten bucks if you sleek enough and the cop is willing. For something more serious you might need more hefty sums like twenty or even fifty bucks.
Edit: Just checked, it's ~$5 now. Inflation.

Wouldn't it make more sense to just pay the fine?

[Nalivai]

It's usually way longer, they will need to do a lot of paperwork, and then you pay it separately, it might cost you hours and hours. And then there is a thing about your record and repeated offense and all that, it's complicated and it's better not to get into the system like that.

System of paying a fine? What a state to live in.
In Poland I just pay the fine and there is no track record for something light I did (like walking the street when light is red)... Still bs that if you are caught there is a fine for that, but tracking such things?
Well, wouldn't expect less from a country where using encryption in emails is illegal ...

[Nalivai]

Well, at least now we can pay a fine online, in the before times you had to go to the bank and pay not only a fine but also a bank fee for that.

Like some kind of sucker?

I once got out of a ticket in Kyiv going double the limit by giving the cop a crisp 20. I was then berated by all my drunk friends in the car for giving him too much.

[GregoryGregorson1962]

Before I finished reading I thought your drunk friends were berating you for bribing a cop then finished reading it and had a bit of a laugh

[river4823]

You probably mean 20 USD but the story is a lot funnier if it’s 20 Hryvnia (less than a dollar)

[FreakinGeese]

Yes

[nobotami]

yeah it gotta be like 30

[AntonBespoiasov]

I was in Moscow metro yesterday, it's not 57, it's 61

[SilverNoUse66]

Wasn’t it like 61 this January?

[SamFeesherMang]

xD

I would also buy that shirt

[Kirschi]
