I was thinking that when watching a doco about western tourists to Thailand who get caught with small amounts of a drug on them. They get shaken down by the local police for a few thousand dollars, up to whatever they can afford. Those who can't pay get put in jail for a while. Not sure if it was bribery or what, but it seemed accepted by everyone involved.
