This was tried by the police in the UK recently but after the budget cuts they could only afford Michael Fabricant.
In the 1970s, the FBI conducted an operation offering bribes to elected US officials. Almost a quarter accepted and were prosecuted.

Honest job application: On the whole I’ll do a perfectly adequate job. I’m quiet but not in an odd way. I won’t cause any fuss. Good at hoping people are well in emails (won’t use too many exclamation marks). Generally a good egg.
