Not sure if I would consider this as harassment anyway.
I'm calling it harassment because these guys find ways of annoying citizens for no reason.. I mean they need to pull up people if they committ an offence (as is the recent directive), not to check if they have committed an offence..
As you'll already be aware, if one commits a traffic violation (in Bangalore), a notification is mailed to the address that the violating vehicle is registered with, & the person in whose name the vehicle is registered is asked to pay the fine within the due date specified, or else a case will be initiated in the courts.. So why do they need to ask someone to pull over, & get violation history checked!! Out of my understanding..
Not that they would have allowed me to drive away without paying the fine, if violation(s) were found against my car, though i might be well ready to take the case to court..

well..lucky that they did not blame a non existent rule break on you..

that airport stretch in a nuisance ,the other parts of the city are much better than before.
Yeah! I was thankful that i ended up getting a clean chit.. You never know when they start manufacturing offences
The stretch is quite a nuisance.. Today's event was quite startling..

funny why they have a raw IP-based address instead of a proper website name..
Hehe.. They're using numbers (IP address) maybe coz they're used to remembering vehicle registration numbers

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back;
and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.
