A driver was stopped by police at a checkpoint in Ukraine. The police officer, Maxim, asked the driver for a bribe of 400 UAH (approximately $15 USD) in exchange for not issuing a traffic ticket. The driver, who was aware of the corruption, had set up a hidden camera to record the interaction. The driver pretended to agree to pay the bribe, but then revealed the hidden camera and confronted Maxim about the extortion.
The driver called the authorities and reported the incident, but it took over an hour and a half for an investigative team to arrive. When the team finally arrived, they seemed uninterested in investigating the incident and did not take any action against Maxim or his colleagues.
The driver, who is a popular YouTube personality, recorded the entire incident and posted it online. He also confronted Maxim's supervisor, Sergey Valentinovich Krashevsky, who claimed that he was not aware of the extortion and that it was a minor violation.
The video ends with the driver expressing his frustration with the corruption in the Ukrainian police force and his hope that the incident will lead to changes. He also meets a young fan who was inspired by his videos to become a lawyer and fight against corruption.
