In NSW, Australia (where I live) there has recently been a big 'clean up' of corrupt officials in the motor registration section of the state government.
Both the types of bribery you mentioned were grounds for dismissal of the officers concerned and charges being laid against someone.
The intent to bribe and therefore corrupt a public official is the same.
The only difference is the degree of the crime. Offering money is regarded more seriously by the law, and I guess it's the difference between stealing a chocolate bar and stealing a car ~ stealing is stealing, but a car is worth more than a chocolate bar.
Women (and men) who try that sort of thing might like to think on that, and just what is is they are offering when they do this.
Cheers :-)

Technically no, offering a fiscal bribe is not the same as offering a smile or showing a bit of cleavage.

I think you would get in a lot more trouble for offering a bribe than you would for flirting.

No.
Flirting is legal - bribing an officer is not. So they are not the same. Besides, flirting is not offering someone anything - it is merely flirting. Bribing is giving someone something of value in exchange for something not ethical/legal.

It's a matter of either cash or in kind.Depends on the cop to prefer one or the other.

Strictly speaking, they are both trying to break the law, but is up to the cop let them.

Doesn't matter if is the money or the body, they are just means to try to get away from the infraction.

What about the cop that says to a female they stop ""**** it or ticket""? Aren't they indicating that they can be 'bribed'?

Legally? Of course not!

Yes. Both are manipulation.
