Police Corruption in Africa? | Should You Bribe the Ghana Police
Twice in the last few days, we have been pulled over in Ghana… that made us question the level of police corruption in Africa as well as ask ourselves (and other locals living in Tema) this question: Should you bribe the Ghana police?
Hear the story of getting stopped by the cops here in Africa versus getting pulled over by the cops in America (for driving while black).
What differences are there and do black people have to fear the police here in Ghana? Can you finally be free of the fear of driving while black in Africa?
PLUS, we offer the local take on what to do when you get pulled over in Ghana and how to deal with the police asking for a bribe.
