It is almost a given that a Mzansi traffic cop will take a bribe if offered one. While recording the incident might help catch the cop, the man paying the bribe is equally at fault.
The widely followed Twitter account of Yusuf Abramjee shared the footage showing a man getting into the car of a traffic cop and paying an apparent bribe of R1800.

The people of Mzansi laugh at the clip as they know nothing will come of it
While it is all good and well trying to catch the cop, Mzansi peeps reminded others that the man filming is guilty too. Plus, the likely hood of anything happening to this traffic cop is next to nothing.
Take a look at some of the comments:

“If the money is for bribe, then both the Officer and the recorder are going to be arrested, this guy just shot his own foot”
@Dashcampros said:
“Why is this shocking? Let's not behave as if this isn't a daily occurrence. Go to Driving Test Centres. Almost all licenses issued via a forced bribe. Yes, I can get you enough evidence. Even offered to @MbalulaFikile.”
@LebouzaLesweet1 said:
“But video does not explain what was the R1800 for, and if the police say he was owing him the money then what?”
@Tshifhiwaaaaaaa said:
“The corrupt and corrupted are the same, is not making sure for the pirates. The man is guilty as the officer-bribing the officer is the charge, he should have alerted other law enforcement about this and it should be conducted by police not him. If the officer arrested him for that.”
