wait did he pay the cop direct? If so, that is graft and corruption. however, he may not have a record if that was the deal.

When I was a kid we got arrested in Milwaukee for being drunk. We asked for a breath test and they told us we watched too many movies. They said rude, rather dirty things to us. I got quite upset and angry and told them that I always respected the police, and though my friends called police pigs, I didn't, but was making an exception for them, that they were pigs. They searched us and threw us in jail.

We told them that our neighbor was a Lieutenant on our city's police force and that he was going to look into what went on, and that we would likely sue them. In the morning they let us go, but made us pay a fine. That day our neighbor, the Police Lieutenant, called them to see what had gone on. They told him that they didn't have a record of any such people being arrested, or being in their jail. We didn't get a record from it at all, but they did got our fine money.
