That bad taste in the mouth after bribing

Reported on June 16, 2011 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #7281

I jumped the signal while returning late and the cop caught me. He took away my license and asked me to come to court and collect after paying the fine of Rs 500. I was ready to pay the fine then and there and asked him to return my license which he refused. I had to take a call. I bribed him Rs 300 and he gave the license back. But believe you me it left such a bad taste in my mouth that I kept feeling that I should have gone to the court and collect the license. But then my question is - Cant a cop just collect the fine and issue a receipt rather than impounding the license and creating inconvenience ?
