How to avoid traffic police when they are asking bribe without any proper reason. as today CISF asking bribe only from two wheelers for entering airport.

Unfortunately, traffic police stop citizens unnecessarily in order to get some quick money by the way of bribes. This is illegal and arbitrary. In such a case firmly say you will not pay a bribe, show your papers are in order and that you did not break a rule. In case you do break a rule, pay only the prescribed fine and demand a receipt for the same. It would also be useful to keep a copy of the motor vehicles act with you. Section 31 of the Motor Vehicles Act says that aperson driving a vehicle shall always carry with him his driving license, certificate of registration, certificates of taxation and certificate of insurance of the vehicle and in case of transport vehicle the permit and fitness certificate, also. He/she shall on demand by police officer in uniform or an officer of the Motor Vehicles Department in uniform or any other officer authorised by the Government, produce the documents for inspection.



Sometimes, just showing a policeman that you know the law is enough to scare bribe seekers away, because corrupt people often prey on the ignorant and meek. I would also suggest that you take photos and videos of such violations and submit this as evidence to higher authorities for taking action
