Relative poverty and enforcement: if a cop accepts a bribe they can lose their job. It’s not worth accepting £20 (or even £2000) bribe and forfeit larger future earnings.
So when bribes do happen it’s for much greater amounts (or nebulous, hard-to-trace things like favours), which rules out bribes for minor infractions.

They lost their life, earnings, social status and in the end a judge says "you are free to go" but there is no compensation. https://www.news18.com/india/declared-innocent-after-30-years-in-jail-over-rs-20-bribe-case-man-dies-next-day-ws-l-9887238.html https://www.news18.com/india/declared-innocent-after-30-year... Or this case https://indian.community/news/delhi-high-court-upholds-conviction-in-30-year-old-bribery-case/ https://indian.community/news/delhi-high-court-upholds-convi... But it doesn't mean corruption isn't caught or people don't care. They do, it's just people get away with a lot of things
