My questions:
1. Why are bikers always targeted by cops? Is it simply because stopping 2-wheels is easier than stopping 4? Or is it because we appear wealthier, having saved on those extra 2-wheels? Or some other reason?

a same insident happened with me a few says ago. i was returning back home from railway station. i was riding on NH71B that connects Bawal(Rewari) industrial area with Rohtak. It was around 7:30pm i was riding slow because of the High Beam incoming four wheelers (who the hell provide then DL when they dont know how to drive on single roads, even bike commutes use to move in high beam even if they see some one coming from opposite side). i was riding at a speed of around 35 kmph and low beam head lights. as i have to turn left for byepass road i turned on my indicator a 100m away from the turn, when i was around 25-30 m away from the turn a saw a cop on left side and a PCR on the right side of the highway. the cop on the left side was already arguing with a scooterist with no helmet. when i came a little close to the turn he left the scooterist and stopped me. he took a look at my bike from all around, care fully looked at the number plates, then i asked him wat happened, he in a hard tone asked me to show the papers. i pulled out my papers from the purse and handed over to him in the mean while i saw a three wheeler full of pessengers till the roof top went passed me but the cop doesent stopped him, a swift at around 60 moved by me along with those truck were heavily moving on the road. in such heavy traffic condition why did he choosed me to show my papers??? but i controled my self a was watching that foolish cops looking at my papers. then he said " mein bade sahaab ko dikha ke aata hun" (im going to show your papers to my senior)and he started to cross the road i was staiding with my bike with my helmet still on. after 20 minutes of wait i went to him and said "uncle meri bike ke papers kahaan hai"( where r my documents), he said kon se papers(what paper?) i was stunned i said i just given you on that side of road he looked at my bike and said my senior is checking them. i asked him wat is taking him so long to check a few papers. he said jyada jaldi hai then go without your bike, i said why i should go with out my bike. As i was arguing with him his senior arrived and said wats the matter i told him about the papers, they said your documents are not complete you have to pay 200 as fine (as in rewari they dont give you the chalan slips). i was show me what im lacking they said you dont have pollution, i said i had it with my papers with the expiry date of 13 august 09. he started arguing with me, getting frustrated to all there acts i called my uncle (he is also cop). after talking to my uncle they handed over my documents to me, i showed him the pollution and moved towards my bike.
my point why only bikers are considered to be the best meat to eat? they wasted my half an hour, what if i don't have a refrence of senior police officer? in such a case i would have to pay them just for nothing?
