this. tons of shithole countries are like this.
the proper language is "is there a fine? i don't know how this works. can i pay the fine right now? who do i pay the fine to?" have to say it like this because there are SOME blowhards who are actually just hassling you and not looking for a bribe, and if you don't do the song and dance, they will arrest you for attempted bribery too.
it sucks, but when you're in a third world shithole, it's risk you have to deal with. i've traveled all over the world. keep a fake wallet on you with a wad of small bills in the local currency that makes it look like a lot more money than it is whenever you take it out. also some expired credit/debit cards. if you get in a sticky situation, pull that out. it's basically insurance for robbery and dirty cops.
we were living in southeast asia and i got shaken down for $12. another one of the guys got stopped and he lied to the cop, saying he didn't have any money on him. the dirty cop literally drove him to an ATM to make him withdraw the daily max ($500 for that bank).
