Bribery in California

Bribery is the criminal offense of giving or accepting money or gifts in exchange for the actions or favor of a public official or person who oversees a public or legal duty. A simple example would be offering a police officer $1000 if he does not arrest you for DUI, even though your blood alcohol level was above the legal limit. If the officer accepted the bribe, both you and the officer could be charged with bribery.

Bribery can occur in a number of professional arenas, such as in professional sports (bribing an official or referee), in foreign affairs, in legal situations (bribing a judge, attorney, witness or jury member), and more.
