Still no Wolamin

After doing a large circle on the freeways and then returning back to a point under the freeway we had previously passed I decided to head under the freeway and take what appeared to be a different entrance to the freeway east.
To our dismay and grief the highway there was blocked by road works and a Police car sat there in waiting.
Sol was behind me and the officer waved us down. I pulled up and told Sol..."don't say anything to him".
The cop began gobbling away in Polish and I interrupted him telling him we spoke English since we were not locals.
He immediately said I will be giving you a ticket for breaking some road law. The amount was 330 Polish Zlote or about $100.00 Australian Dollars.
I told him we were not from around here and did not mean to break any road laws. He continued with his diatribe and said we broke a second law and the fine for that was 500 Zlote.
I told him we were from Australia and he asked for our passports. I told him our passports are back at the Novatel. There was no way he was going to see or touch our passports, which we actually had with us.
He then asked for other ID so I said I have a drivers license. I handed him an international drivers license and he walked to the rear of my bike and looked at the bikes and at Sol.
I was very glad Sol was keeping his mouth quiet.
He then came back to me and said..."I know you are not from around here" to which I replied "yes we definitely are not".
Then he got to the punch line..."you know we issue tickets on the spot and they must be paid on the spot".
I replied..."OK, give us a ticket and we will pay".
Then he waffled some more and I knew where this was heading. To put him out of his misery I asked him..."OK, how much NO TICKET?"
He immediately asked do you have Zlote? I replied..."No, I have Euro, how much?" He thought about it for a moment and said..."50 Euro".
I handed him the cash and then said to him..."For 50 Euro you need to show us how to get on the highway to take us to Wolamin".
He began speaking instructions but I then said to him..."No, you take us to the correct freeway entrance". He laughed and walked off.
At that moment I turned the bike camera on to catch him walking back to the car and his buddy.
I had turned the camera off as soon as he pulled us over. The camera has a red LED light on top to verify the camera is recording. I simply did not want the cops to see the camera recording or G-D knows what he might have done.
Anyway I captured this short bit of footage of the corrupt cops earning an afternoon bonus.
