Lolz. Seems like it's the confession time.

HaHa!! Thanks for letting me know then. :D

For instance, for filing a case against a crime, you are supposed to bribe.

In Germany, when you lose your purse and you have your ID in it and your drivers license, you are actually supposed to file an official crime. So that when your documents appear somewhere else they are registered as stolen.

I had mine once stolen and told the police lady that I just want to tell but would not file a case against the thief. She looked at me as if I was insane and for a moment I felt like a criminal myself - LoL. That was quite a strange situation since I was not anticipating such a strong reaction. For me, it was just money and my own fault, since I had forgotten my bag on the back of my bike.

It's odd that officials want to be bribed for letting you into the legal system. Here, denunciation seems actually to be encouraged and for that, you have to report a violation to the officials.
I never came across someone who opened his hands to receive money. Though I am confident that similar things happen here like "one hand washes the other" in terms of business contracts and favors exchanged.
