Do cops ever ARREST people for $$$?

I'm just curious. I've visited the DR several times and love it. But sometimes I'll be sitting in a bar, or on a street cafe, and the cops will show up and arrest somebody. This makes me a little nervous. Does anybody know if the police ever arrest tourists just to shake them down for money? Somebody told me a hooker planted drugs in the room of a German tourist and the police came, searched his room, found the drugs and arrested him. It costed him $9000 US to get out. Could this be true?

I HAVE VERY GOOD REASON TO BELIEVE (READ: KNOW) IT WAS THE COPS THAT ROBBED MY HOUSE UNDER GUN POINT.
