I'd rather walk through America's worst ghettos with $100 bills sticking out of my pockets than to take my chances with half of those thieves. Half are cops and the other half are bandits. They love shaking down foreigners and would have no problems implicating you or me in something like this just to to make a few bucks. We see a victim of a traffic crime. They see an opportunity to make money!
I once watched a 50 year old man in Moscow with no legs pushing himself around on a makeshift homemade skateboard. He was drunk and disoriented. Some elderly woman was smacking him and robbing him in broad daylight. As he was screaming and crying, a cop stood 10 feet away laughing his *ss off. If I would have went over there to help that poor b*stard, I'd have been the one in trouble. It's just the way it is in this country.
