Having dash cam footage at least could prove what happened despite what a police report says. We got stopped a few times, and once the cops smelled money (Khanty-Mansi region plates), they wanted a bribe.

I've heard/read that once you get arrested, it's very difficult to not be convicted. You need to bribe then before you get arrested. It seems like a pretty corrupt place.

Like I said, wild west (but in the East) without the hats and horses.
