Traffic fraud<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
This incident took place at the Jl. Proklamasi to Jl.
\nDiponegoro turning, in front of Metropole Theater, on Sunday,
\nAug. 13, 1995, at about 3 p.m. The traffic was relatively quiet
\nat that time. I was driving my car along Jl. Proklamasi towards
\nJl. Diponegoro. The traffic lights on the left showed yellow and
\nwere flashing, which meant that one could go on and turn left. No
\nsooner had I made the turn, when two policemen approached, one of
\nthem asked me to park my car at the roadside. They had done the
\nsame with the taxi in front of me.<\/p>\n
I thought they just wanted to check my car documents, as I did
\nnot feel I had violated any traffic regulation. But he
\nconvincingly said that I had run the red light, asking me whether
\nI wanted to settle the case through court or pay the Rp. 26,600
\nfine at the BRI bank. Still in utter confusion, I asked the
\npoliceman which red light had I run, as I didn't see it.<\/p>\n
He said that it was the red light which allowed pedestrians to
\ncross the road. The policeman and I went to the lights to see the
\ntraffic light. I asked the color of the light. The policeman said
\n\"yellow.\" But he insisted that I had breached the traffic law.<\/p>\n
I am 63 years old. I am particularly concerned over the way
\nthese policemen performed their duty and treated the public.<\/p>\n
