Why is it illegal to bribe an official to do their job? AFAICT from the article he was just bribing the SF city clowns to stop honking their noses once in a while. It seems like the only crime should be in accepting the bribe, not in offering it.
Is this because this would be unfair to other people who would like the government to do its job and don't have money for bribes?
