Azeri Traffic Police Caught Bribing Drivers

Radio Azadliq (RFE/RL) has released an amateur video of Azerbaijan traffic police bribing drivers - or a right word would be "racketeering" - just in front of the Ministry of Education, in almost downtown Baku.

Timing? On 31 December, the very same day when President Ilham Aliyev in his New Year address to the nation said that the government was fledging "a ruthless struggle" with corruption.

So what does police do in the video? They stop any car they deem "appropriate" and ask them to give money.
