You donate $20 to the Fraternal Order of the Police, and they give you a decal to place in your window: Good idea or bad idea?
More to the point: Is it wrong to entice the cops not to ticket you, maybe just issuing you a warning, instead?
Now, even more to the point: Is it a form of bribery? I mean, you are giving them money in hopes of getting off the hook. If a person were to flat out offer $20 to get off, that would be bribery., wouldn't it. This is not as quid pro quo, but it is insinuated. And, you're giving to the Fraternal Order of the Police, not to the individual officer.
Still, you are giving money in exchange for the officer hopefully granting you leniency, are you not?
I say it is wrong, and am surprised law enforcement agencies would ever be involved in such. Why is this not corruption?
