- makes me wonder, why aren't the western government as corrupt?
what's the whole mechanism keeping things functioning?
by prakhar897 - Relative poverty and enforcement: if a cop accepts a bribe they can lose their job. It’s not worth accepting £20 (or even £2000) bribe and forfeit larger future earnings.
So when bribes do happen it’s for much greater amounts (or nebulous, hard-to-trace things like favours), which rules out bribes for minor infractions.

- How did you articulate this data? How real is this ?by junaid0016
- Love the concept, please spend sometime with UI, gives a sense that the reported numbers are not serious.by bicepjai
- Bangalore and Bengaluru appear as different options. You need to standardize the input if you're presenting statistics by city.

- You won...an investigation!by newsomix9xl
- Fair point, hadn't considered that. A leaderboard risks rewarding exaggeration. Would think about this.by neverenderr
- I was literally thinking to code this other day. Good work.

- If I were a corrupt official in one of the departments I would simply use a vpn and submit a bunch of data for my specific specialty all across the country and then slightly fewer in my own department to drive demand and set market expectationsby duncangh
- Counterpoint: if they have that much tech expertise and competency managing things they would have left and make more money doing more productive things :)by winstonlee
- I could see no bribes in my city. Where is this data sourced from? Also its just showing city and department name. Can't find name or photo of person who took the bribe.by jathul
- Not much to see here. Crowd sourced, vibe coded app. Not sure what "verified" means because the only verification they did was require a checkbox that "I confirm this is a genuine experience"by xmprt
- > Not sure what "verified" means
If you want your post verified, that'll cost you $100
by superfrank - Fair on "verified" - it's really "manually reviewed" (duplicate/outlier checks), not independently verified. Should probably fix that word on the site.by neverenderr
- Do you genuinely think unaffected parties are poisoning the well here? Most likely those asked to pay are reporting.by 4d4m
- > Others confirm the pattern When reports cluster around one office or officer, the algorithm flags a verified pattern automatically
It just requires enough others to say the same thing for it to be verified.
