The video opens with two women sitting on a scooter. While the driver doesn't get off, the other woman does. She walks up to the cop who then tells her to move to the side of the road. It seems like words were exchanged before the cop turned away from the woman she had stopped. In the very next scene the woman drops folded notes in the cop's back pocket.
