| inf. | заниматься вымогательством | shake down (оказывая психологическое давление: "My partner allegedly lightly bumped the license plate on the bumper of another vehicle. The damage is clearly negligible – I saw a photo and there is a tiny mark behind the license plate. In fact, it looks like it was just caused by installing the license plate. (...) My partner is now being harrassed daily for payment – the price keeps decreasing, clearly there either is no damage or the repair is so low it’s not worth going to ICBC. This person is now threatening my partner by saying that they will claim rental car fees etc." "Tell'em to eat shit and go through ICBC, they're trying to shake down your partner."
