When travelling in such countries, the trick is to always carry your passport and wallet in a different pocket.

Always have a $100US (sometimes a $50 will do, or even less) note in your passport. When you are stopped by the police, for whatever reason, and you think you might be in trouble, then give them your passport with the $100US note inside.

The corrupt officer will take the note and let you be on your way.

This has got me out of trouble in places like Indonesia and Thailand.

I must say, that I have never felt the need to use such a tactic in Cyprus or Greece.
