I Am Watching You
Noticed on my way back that a highway tropper stopped a truck because the rear brake light wasn't working. I played dumb and pretended to fiddle with my camera and took a few shots. We usually thinks that when the Police (in this case, Polis or PDRM) stops anyone, it is usually for coffee money, i.e. bribe. I observed and waited to see if there was anything suspicious but alas, after 5 minutes, the truck was given a ticket and there was no exchange of "cash for amenesty". While we all believe and think that these acts are rampant and happens everytime, i believe there are cases where these Men In White (or Blue) genuinely wants to serve the people and ensure community safety and compliance. So, give them a break. Say hi to them when you see them. They are human too. They have families too. Only big difference is that they have a gun and handcuff on their belt - something we only have if we buy the toys from the shops. Or, was it because they saw me, and they decided that the safest way is...well...not take any bribes...Tools: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT2. ISO80. F5.9. 1/125. "Ayam Telur"
Probably the latter.
ReplyDeleteI seriously think so too!
ReplyDeleteso bad. you just say give them a break, then you get all cynical again. if they really were going to take a bribe, and saw you, i think they'd probably let the guy go with a warning instead of a ticket, cos there'd be more work for them. i don't like dirty cops either, but at the same time, can understand these poor flers with families to feed and earning pathetic salaries. so...give them a break. end of the day, they didn't do anything wrong. a man is innocent until proven guilty.
ReplyDeleteWisely said too AuntyG. The comments were tongue in cheek la. I saw that no money was exchanged and things were clean.
