Laws are about recourse, not prevention.

    Which is why there is a section on your tax form to report bribes.

    Obviously no one does, it's just something else they can throw at you when they catch you.

    The IRS doesn't give a shit if you accept a bribe, they just want their cut. Income is income, no matter the source.

    Technically speaking, accepting a bribe is not illegal in most cases, just unethical always.
