From what I've read, many mundane activities require a bribe to this or that minor bureaucrat, cop, whatever. That would have to get old. My only experience with that was brief - in Mazatlan, MX in the late 70s. Three well dressed punks with official looking IDs shook me and my buddy down, just generally lording it over us, taking some of our cigarettes and $$.
