A patient cameraman doesn't have to wait long to capture damning footage of this greedy cop.
This is not baksheesh - these people are paying an unofficial toll to avoid hassle from a bent cop. This is highway robbery.

Yes, this seems to be a bit OTT. Minor corruption is inherent in Morocco and a bit harmless - give 50dh cash in place of an official 400dh speeding ticket for a genuine offence. No big deal. Where is becomes too much is in cases such as in this video where seemingly innocent drivers are paying a kind of random toll to use the road and avoid being hassled. The hassle being the charge the cop makes up...
