It happens in many under-developed countries where police need to supplement their income.
Would you rather pay a 'spot fine' or go to the hassle of a trip to the police station to pay a much larger fine?
Some posters need to get off their collective high-horses. We who pay the spot-fines exacerbate the problem but the solution may be found in paying police a decent wage. I say 'may' bacause corruption is so endemic in Thai society that increased salaries may not fix the problem.
Best to always keep a few 100 baht notes in front of the car.
