>In the United States or Europe citizens don't normally attempt to bribe a policeman to avoid a citation, but they will in Mexico. In Brazil the approach is, "Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" Implying that your social status should exempt you from police action.>

Such behavior is common in India too. Now what is common between all these cultures - Mexico, Brazil, and India? All I can think of is agri-culture.

Someone else sometime back brought up the matter of political contributions and their effect on gov't in the US. Looked at that way, maybe the US isn't so different from Mexico or India - the bribes just have to be larger.
