[Resolved]  Traffic Police — Harassment, bribe and regionalism

Hi,
I'm writing here not for sake of putting as complaint against Traffic Police or police department, because I know there is no solution to this problems.

Yesterday evening I was on way back to home from office at night, i had 2 glass of bear with friends at around 7 PM and after that spend good time with them talking , had food and by the time i was about to drive , i was normal and started drive back home at 10 PM. i reached at yeshwantpur circle , i saw some 4-5 traffic police men were stopping vehicles and booking them. I was driving ok...suddenly at turn one police men gave me had to stop vehicle and he board back on my bike and told me to drive, i thought he might be following some one..but hardly driving around 100m , he said to stop and got down and asked me..are u drink ..i said yes ..but had bear at 7 PM and I'm perfectly ok. He said to come down of bike, taken the bike keys and said i'll book u under drink and drive , come pay fine of Rs 3000/-
he said he will book the bike, go to magistrate after 2 days and have to pay fine...believe me i didnt wanted to happen all these.

i pleaded him to leave me for this time, but he didnt gave any ear to this, then he says u have to give Rs.1000/- the u can go....and in my pocket all i had only Rs 500/- which i took out from ATM to do vegetable shopping on saturday...i kept on pleading him till 20 mins...but he was not listening.

That police man was quite young around age of 23-25....the worst part of all these were, during all my pleading i was humiliated by him by so many way...he raised hand on me twice, uttered some abusive word in kannada, and as i was requesting him in hindi,, he said " You north Indian..this is bangalore not your Bihar, but actually I'm from chattisgarh.

at last I had to pay him Rs 400/- and then he gave me back the keys and instructed me..if any other police men tries to stop you , dont stop.

I know many of you would have been through this situation, but let me tell you the dark side of it..which no one knows ....

I lost my Job last year jan 09, since then I didnt got any job.for 10 month, last month managed to get a job with salary of Rs 10000/-..and today in my back account i have now only Rs 2000/- after paying rent of 6000 and other expense. Before 2009 ..i was working well , enjoying CTC of around 9 lakhs and paid all the Taxes to government on time , never complaint.

Now When i was with no job, my Dirty government didn't do anything , no one cared to see my family ...and on the above of alll these So called Police men and Traffic inspector juice up .

Today , I'm so much frightened in my own country to drive or enjoy safe drive after 10 PM at night, not because of any rowdy ..its just Indian Police and Traffic Police, because they stop you , harass you , insult you , abuse you and in your own country create regionalism and also take our hard earned money.

Well, there is really no solution to this problem, i know i cant get any justice to all the harassment, insult, abuse , but yes I can definitely get my money back from these group of people.

Today I take oath on my own, I will not spare any student,worker whose parents work with Police/Traffic police department. If these people take money in the shadow of Law and order. I'll up frontly charge them with bill huge money for any service they avail from me, product buy from me, tuition fee pay for education at school or college, harass them mentally at work.

I'll definatelly get my money back in next few days, because I'm in to job consultation service and will shortly drive exclusive recruitment program for wards of Police men....lets see who Loots whom....
