We were driving towards Highway in our 2 months old car (VW-Vento)…

Reported on March 10, 2014 from Chikmagalur , Karnataka  ι Report #39965

We were driving towards Highway in our 2 months old car (VW-Vento) and the Police Jeep in the Banakal area stops us. The Senior Police (could not make out what rank officer he was) officer was in the jeep and the police driver asks us to see the officer in the jeep.

We produced RC and Driving Licence. When asked for the Emission Certifice, convinced that it is new vehicle.

He insisted for the Vehicle Insurance Policy for which I told him, I am not very sure of having it in the car. I had copy on my phone, but no hard copy. I told him, we have the insurance policy taken prior to vehicle Registration.

He asks me to wait while my family in the car (impatiently waiting at 6 PM, as it gets darker) gets worried. Police asks me to pay Spot Fine for which I object and tell him, this is surely not an offence to pay spot fine.

He tells me, come to Police Station. I really get upset now, and I tell him clearly, that this is harrassement and nothing else. Since I know, for sure, not carrying policy paper with you in the car, specially new car has no problem.

Finally, when I get tough and insist, I have to leave, he returns my RC and Driving Licence. He notes down my name and address and tells us that he is going to send Notice to me.

Bull shit. I am now going to take up this matter with the concerned. How can a Police Man stop vehicle on the Highway when there is no traffic violation. For checking records and harrassing family, dragging travellers to his police station is not right.

What's your reaction?
