Money doesn´t talk

Remember the find five faults game? 

Below you will find more than five.

 A 16 year boy drives a car in Dhaka. He is speeding, he has no driving licence, he takes selfies and sends them. And he is drunk. 

He crashes with rickshaws and injures two people seriously, two other mildly. 

Nobody files criminal charges. Not even the police. 

The press reports of the accident only after it's a hot topic in the social media. 

Some papers withhold the boy's name since he is a minor.

Right answers: it's not allowed to drive car when you are under 18, not allowed to drive without a licence (though many bus drivers don't have a licence), it's not allowed to drive drunk, it's not allowed to drink alcohol (this is a Muslim country), it's not allowed to use electronic devices when driving (nobody cares) and it's not allowed to speed (traffic jam is normally an efficient speed bumper), it's not allowed to drive into other vehicles.

Media here publishes names and pictures of suspects, quilty or not. (Sadly enough, newspapers also identify victims like rape victims).

Joking, those above are not the right answers.

This is: the boy has a rich and influential family. 

Money buys cure for the injured, shuts up all mouths, police and press included. 

Law and order Bangla style.

Money - or the prospect of it - can buy almost anything in this country.

Nobody likes it but almost everybody does it. Call it bribery, gifts, corruption, but it's hard to get anywhere without a bunch of takas delivered under the table.

This, combined with self-censorship, doesn't give high transparency rankings for Bangladesh. 

I am very tempted too.

Crossing a street requires a lot of waiting, my personal record is seven minutes.

Cars don't stop for pedestrians, red lights don't stop cars, only the police has some authority in controlling the traffic.

I have often wondered how fast I would be able to cross the street if I discreetly gave a couple of hundreds to a police officer. Luckily, I'm never in a hurry.
