I used to work for a guy who got speeding tickets all over the country, his brother in law was a detective and no matter where the offence occured he could make the ticket disappear by passing a brown envelope down the line, hell, he used to have me hand the envelope over to his brother in law when it was his day off. My gaffer used to have a saying as he was going out of the office, “I'm just going out to get another speeding ticketâ€Â, laughs all round. The fact that no matter where in the country he got caught and was able to fix things made me see how widespread the corruption was. I can't recall just how many times he beat the system but it was a hell of a lot of times. Eventually the scam failed and he spent 6 months riding into the office on a bicycle. Shortly afterwards his brother in law was suspended and after about 2 years he was offered the choice of resigning or facing court on corruption charges, he resigned. I never did find out what the police actually caught him out on, but afterwards he came to work with us, until the place closed down.
