okay, let me preface this message by saying that i have been to several different corners of the world and act accordingly while in other countries.

that said, i am in my thirties, enjoy going out eight nights a week, partying, and meeting women. seldom have i had any problems with law enforcement. however, in mexico, i was arrested for snapping off a tree branch (i admit, i was 22 and probably out of line). i went to thailand unmolested by police, yet did witness them physically beat a local woman for getting out of line at a bar.

i have heard and read about the stories of corrupt cops in indonesia, and i am wondering how likely it is to be initiated by them while in the kuta area of bali? do i need to worry about them planting drugs on me and hauling me in?

i do not do drugs. yes, i drink beer (and a bit of the hard stuff, too). i don't smoke marijuana, cigarettes, or even associate with those who do. so what is the likelihood of having a cop-free time in bali?

please respond.
