Up north, the county sheriffs were elected officials and had campaign funds. If you contributed more than a minimal amount or bought tickets to a fund raising affair, you received a plackard or wallet card that indicated that you were a "friend" of law enforcement. If you were stopped, you gave the card to the officer along with your license. He would give you a warning and send you on your way with no ticket. Down here, I don't know, maybe its the same.
Personally, I'll make a small donation to a few of the police outfits that call you looking for money. They'll usually give you a window decal for your car. Of course, I don't speed, so I don't know how effective they are in avoiding tickets.

There is a fool proof way aside from bribes
