well done!!!

Few days back my brother came home late.. when esquired he told that he was stopped by the traffic police and was fined 300 Rs. I asked him and he told the conversation btw him and the police..

Traffic police: U get the fine of 300 Rs or u can give me 100Rs and leave
Bro: I will pay 300Rs; please prepare the chalan
Police: u work for software company?
bro: Yes
Police: You software pple have toomuch of money... and dont know its value!!!

To this i was agitaged... and said "u should have said its none of ur business; prepare the chalan and thats it!" to which my brother said: "yes i could have.. but u see they are police... and he can book u in some stupid case which will take years to resolve. Why take conflict with him! so i said yes and silently paid the amount and came off!!!"

His interpretation is: "we shouldnt be taking short cuts; its very incorrect to bribe them!" to this i added "very correct;  on one hand we have pple like Anna Hazare who is on fast to stand against corruption; atleast for them we shouldnt be bribing these pple"

I remember a similar incident at Sanath nagar; It was the first day to office and i was going by my new bike. Suddenly the police stopped me. I was terrified.. I told its quite new; just 1 week old and so i cannot produce RC. That guy didnt listen; all he was telling is produce RC or pay chalan. Having no options i agreed for the chalaan... he took my llicense as surity and wrote that i didnt get my license and so am fined 300Rs. Behind the bill it was written as 100Rs if RC wasnt produced. I was agitated.. and shouted in anger at him "how can u write that my license is not there when u took it and kept in ur pockt?" By then a good amount of crowd had gathered and he silently took back the chalan and wrote the proper one. A week later i went to the police dept and payed the fine.

What kind of police? They take bribe yet dont do work?

Yesterday my friend was travelling on byke and was hit by lorry from behind, intelligently he jumped off the byke and the lorry ran over the byke. The byke is completely destroyed. When he took the drive to the police the police writer 'demanded' Rs500 bribe and wrote the report in telugu. When asked he said he doesnt know any other language. This poor guy doesnt know telugu and trusted him as he took the bribe and promised to dothe work in full. Today he got the letter to me and it reads "I was travelling on kukatpally road and the handle hit the MCH lorry parked forcing my byke to skid. The lorry coming behind ran over my byke" pushing the fault onto the rider.

Huh! what kind of people are these police? They dont even know english? ok no questions asked.. After having taken bribe also they don't do proper work? Don't we have a system to catch hold of such a thing happening in the society? Don't say spy on them.. thats not possible practically.
