Yes and the system isnt all bad. For example, in the country I reside in, getting caught on drug charges would require paying a large sum to get off, which is kind of cool, because a primary job of police is to enforce drug laws, but who should pay for that, really? Should all the people who dont do drugs have to pay, like we do it in America? This way, the salaries of the police aren't paid by the whole populace but rather by the people guilty of the crimes enforced. In a sense, drugs aren't illegal here, they are just very very expensive, and that's possibly just as good of a deterrent.
But, the system is mostly bad. Corruption really holds back poor countries. Lobbying really holds back rich ones.
