Attitudes towards police
Most Mexicans have the attitude that they can buy their way out of situations with the police, provided that they have enough money. The practice of morditas results in a lack of respect for the authority of the police. The rich have little to fear when in a situation with the police, and it is common for them to have certain 'agreements' with police officers to overlook certain situations. The lack of respect for authorities only serves to bring down the esteem of police officers and exacerbates the problem.
