Module 11:  Corruption dilemmas

Dilemma 8:  Extortion – Dilemma

You are the Sales Manager of Buildwell who is visiting the office of a potential client. 

You are stopped by an armed policeman at a road-block.  He falsely states that your tyres are defective, but says that he will let you drive on if you pay him $50.  Otherwise he will arrest you.  He acts in a menacing manner. 

You fear that he may harm you if you do not pay.  However, you also fear that you may be committing a criminal offence if you make an unofficial payment to a policeman.

What do you do?

Consider your position, and then go to the analysis on the next page.
