> Police Launch New EZ-Bribe Card For Motorists
> The Bangkok Post, 15 Jul 2012
> BANGKOK тАУ Drivers in the capital will now enjoy the convenience of paying
> bribes to police electronically, according to a new system unveiled by the
> Bangkok Metropolitan Police yesterday.
>
> The EZ-Bribe card is modeled after the EZ Pass that motorists have been
> using to pay tolls without having to stop.
> Similar to the EZ Pass system, the EZ-Bribe card is a stored value card

> To accommodate the new system, police checkpoints will now have a dedicated

> Opening promotional prices have been set at Bt100 per private passenger

> Luxury cars costing over Bt12 million, such as the Mercedes S500 and the
