The amount of money we waste on bribes in India because we don’t know our rights is insane.

Got stopped by traffic police last month near Dwarka. Cop said my papers were incomplete, demanded ₹2000. I knew everything was fine but I had no clue how to argue with him. So I just paid and left.

Later told a lawyer friend about it. He said the cop had zero grounds and I could have just asked for an e-challan. The official fine would have been ₹500 max. I basically donated ₹1500 because I didn’t know what to say.

Made me think — what if there was an app where you could just call a lawyer the moment a cop stops you? Like ₹200 for a quick call, the lawyer talks to the cop, sorts it out. Would save way more money than it costs. Does something like this exist already or are we all just out here getting scammed?

Need honest feedback. I know lawyers who said they wouldnt mind 200rs for a quick call
