==Government protection rackets== Government officials may demand [[Bribery|bribes]] to look the other way or [[Extortion|extort]] something of value from citizens or corporations in the form of a [[Money trail|kickback]]. It need not always be money. A lucrative job after leaving office may have been in exchange for protection offered when in office. Payment may also show up indirectly in the form of a campaign contribution. Stopping government agencies as a whole, and buying protection in the government is called [[regulatory capture]].
