RE: The Power Game: Got Stopped And Discredited By The Police On My Way To The Beach "Just Because They Can"...⛔

in #freedom7 years ago

Seems like a tense situation but you handled it well. Fortunately I have so far managed to avoid most in person confrontations like this, although in the UK the fines are far more likely to appear in the post then in person with a Police Officer - speed cameras, bus lane cameras, red light cameras, parking wardens it's a veritable gold mine.

Sort:  

It's the second time I've been in such a situation during the past 6 months here. After today's encounter I've started to study the law and read the news. It seems to be a common problem. They even focus on surfers since it's easy to punish them. Most people don't know well the law and don't answer back - that's there chance to make some quick money then.

Fortunately I don't take everything for granted. The next time I'll be well prepared, having a printed copy of the traffic law in my car. They will hate me even more, but I think I will be able to hande that now :-)

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your point of few... Cameras! Yeah, I should have my GoPro close during the next stop though...:-)
