 In some countries the police is a lot more corrupt than in others. It's always best to avoid [[baksheesh]] or situations that can lead you in trouble (think [[drugs]]). If you know you are in trouble some hard cash might help to get you out of a situation that could easily get out of hand. Dealing with one cop is a lot easier than dealing with 10 of them in a police station and let's not even start talking about judges.
 Know what you're dealing with.  In a place like [[Finland]] or the [[Netherlands]] it would be very unwise to offer a cop a 50 euro bill.

The '''police''' are there to uphold the law fairly and firmly. You have certain rights in any dealings with the police.

== General Points ==

* Be polite at all times. It doesn't cost anything, and it will make life a lot easier
* If you don’t understand what is going on, don't understand the questions they are asking you, or don't understand the terms, phrases they are using you, ask them.
* If you are accused of an offence, always ask to speak to a solicitor / lawyer before you make a statement.
