Traffic police versus city bus<\/p>\n
From Kompas<\/p>\n
On Aug. 6, 1994 I boarded a Metromini S-74 bus from Jalan
\nVeteran to Blok M. It was the first time ever I rode on a
\nMetromini bus whose driver was not a driver from hell.<\/p>\n
When the bus passed Jalan Pakubuwono VI the driver saw a group of
\npolice in the distance and he ordered his conductor to close the
\nfront door in compliance with the new regulation. The rear door
\nwas already closed.<\/p>\n
The police, seeing the conductor closing the door, asked the bus
\nto stop. After checking the driver's and vehicle's licenses the
\ndriver was ushered to the patrol car of the policemen.<\/p>\n
When the driver came back to the bus I made an effort to ask
\nhim what had happened. The driver said that he paid \"solution\"
\nmoney of Rp 2,000.<\/p>\n
The driver said he asked the policemen what kind of a violation
\nhe had committed. He said the police replied: \"Shut your mouth.\"<\/p>\n
The questioning took 15 minutes during which the driver was
\nnot allowed to defend himself.<\/p>\n
This is a rather ridiculous incident in the wake of a somewhat
\nimproved law enforcement ruling, as it was the law enforcers who
\npersisted in employing their own rulings.<\/p>\n
I hope this letter will serve as information to the
\nauthorities.<\/p>\n
