How many times u hav been "chalaned" by cops - Page 19 - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

Eshan-P180 · 01-18-2012, 02:53 PM

100rs for stopping in front of the cop in the wrong lane...He was hiding in the bushes with other cops and directly sprung out of nowhere....

I was anyways cautious because of wrong lane but that cop freaked my balls out and came like a predator...

If anyone is from Pune then the location is SP college back side lane which is a one way with no signboards...
Typically marathi accent - Atta kuthe palnar...kadh paise..chayla wrong lane madhe gaadi ghusavto!!!

Firstly i was freaked out cz he came out of nowhere..
secondly i dint understood a word cz i was still freaked out...those bushes were entire covered with their clan hiding and taking cover..

This happened a week ago. Driving down the express IT highway OMR in chennai, was signalled to pull over by a cop, I checked my odo, it read 46kmph exactly. I pulled over turning on the left signal. He told me i was speeding, i politely replied i was doing 45 only. He entered something into a handheld device and asked me to sign on it, I asked him, is that a speed gun sir? He replied with, "are you talking rules? you **** (better not typed in a public forum)." I said "sir but you cannot charge me for speeding without a gun." he quickly changed the offense to changing lanes dangerously (which btw i never do, even on highways). He said fine is 1050, minimum of 400, openly asking for a bribe. As a matter of principle but not scarcity of funds, I refused to pay up or acknowledge the offense, then began the endless barrage of insults, that i presume involved my parents, my grandparents, everyone in my family and my extended family (mostly females). Although I donot stand for such inconsiderate foul language, I was forced to, as it is a new bike and all my life's savings have gone into it and he already had my keys. He came close to hitting me atleast half a dozen times, in the middle of public road. The only thing i had to do was pay up 300 and leave for obviously no reason, which he himself agrees. I guess the eunuchs are little more considerate in this department. He kept asking me to sign, I was always addressing him with a suffix "sir" which admittedly was killing me inside to address this imbecile as. He refused to tell me my offense or the amount, the only response were synonyms to moms private parts. After half an hour of this endless barrage of abuses. He decided to drive my bike away,(which i suppose he cannot, shouldn't there be a tow truck?) He plonked it into the first gear in full force, and almost pulled off a wheelie. Drove another 500 metres and stopped . I walked until there, and realizing there was nothing left to do, as I had already contacted the Commissioner of Police, Mr.Tripathy and he couldnot resolve it. I had to go against everything I believed in and everything I was taught from childhood that, you only get punished if you do something wrong, I paid up. Yes, shamefully, i admit that I paid a bribe of 300 rupees. He tries to justify his situation saying that he has responsibilities too, and that he has 4 brothers whom he has to feed, and that I should be understanding towards it, after being abused for an hour and treated much worse than Ajmal Kasab for all i can guess. This model policeman happens to be Mr. A. Challadurai. The icing on the cake is that, I was charged for speeding, without a speed gun. Challan No. C2221209446. I am perplexed as to how everyone on the road was suggesting me to pay up, and let the headache go. Is there absolutely no way you can fight for your rights, and not lose a whole lot, if not everything in the process? Is this the kind of system we are slaves to where, even the Commissioner of Police himself can be no better than a silent spectator? I understand that the police officer is the enforcer of law here and he can dish out whatever random offense he deems fit, and I understand that you will obviously claim it is just a handful of officers who will misuse the law like it happened today, and further justify it saying, "The law is supposed to serve the masses" but whatever happened to the saying, "Let a thousand criminals walk free, but don't punish an innocent man?".

I composed this message as soon as I returned to my office and marked copies to Hindu,TOI,Deccan Chronicle, The Commissioners Office, The Chennai City Traffic Police FB page, Chennai Police website. Towards the evening, I got a call from the Additional commissioner of police, informing me that a departmental inquiry had been launched on the said cop. He requested me, that if the need arises, I might have to come down to the meeting. I affirmed that under no circumstances, I would want to miss it, Infact I would want to be present for the entirety of the proceedings. He was very respectful and cordial, and appreciated me for the way I approached the situation. Half an hour post this conversation, the Additional Commisioner calls me back and asks me if he could give my phone number to the cop at fault. It was never my intention to demean the cop or get his suspended. I just didn't want him to treat anyone else on the road the same way, and I had to send a point home that the common man can still do something. So I told the addl. commisioner that he can divulge my mobile number. I get a call from the cop 5 minutes later, he is all apologetic on the phone, citing reasons such as work tension and being posted on a governor's route. I asked him what of my 300? He was at this point around 10 kilometres from my office, he said that he would send a constable to return my money. I told him, not going to happen, you are going to come here personally in 15 minutes, apologize to me in person and return my money and then we will talk about cancelling the departmental inquiry. He arrived at my office promptly in 15 minutes,(must have broken a few traffic rules in the process). He apologized many a times, and returned my 300 rupees.I talked to him for 15 minutes trying to explain why he didn't have to treat me the way he did. Just as I was about to leave, he says "Sir, call me if you need anything sir, Anything at all sir". I politely replied, "You are one of the persons I have the least respect for, I will never ever call you". He goes, "Sir , leave it sir, friends sir".

The next day, I had half an hour chat with the Additional Commissioner, where he informed me that the entire credit goes to the Commissioner of Police for Chennai, Mr. Tripathy, who got personally involved and ordered him to resolve the matter. I decided to drop the case, and hence asked him to cancel the departmental inquiry. Needless to say, my immense respect and gratitude goes to Mr. Tripathy, the commissioner of police.

I also had a Kinetic&don't think it is capable of doing 90 even on the speedo!

@sayhi2sai: Lucky the Commissioner was helpful. In my experience, cops upto SI level take bribes.

sayank10 · 02-13-2012, 08:20 PM

i too faced same incident like sai.complained it on fb page.got immediate rseponse from higher official.but later backed out of the case due to some personal reasons.but still back in my mind i cannot forget the harrasment.

when I had first come into blr with GJ registered LML vespa not so "smart "
I used to have a budget of 600/month to pay the cops .
once recently when I got pulled over on my fiero for not having my insurance papers. I promptly put on the main stand , called my driver on his mobile to enquire about my son at preschool and told the cop that docs are in the car my driver will be getting it in half an hour
and chilled out, they let me go in ten minutes.

Only once. At Dharavi junction where the right takes us to Kalanagar/Bandra.
There was a huge truck in front of me. So could just make out that the signal is green but didn't realise that it was flickering.
The pussy of a police, didn't catch the truck who sped away but instead was satisfied catching me, who went and stopped near him when he signaled.
He thought he could get some "chai-paani" here but unfortunately i insisted he gives me a proper challan and i don't mind going to Traffic dept to pay the fine and collect my license.

Karthik Mathur (Orange) · 03-12-2012, 08:38 AM

@sayhi2sai sooper maccha!! If every individual thinks and acts the way u do, we won't really a Anna Hazare in this country to fight for rights.

In the last 15 years of riding and driving... Infinite times... Mostly for vague reasons... A few times I agree I was guilty...

I hope you that most of the challan books are fake... And that money is pocketed too... Although I too insist on being challaned instead of paying them a bribe...

I was caught by the Bangalore cops chalanned for two reasons,
was caught by an interceptor on the kanakpura main road from nowhere a cop jumps into the middle of the road waving a stick, I was doing 70k+ braked right in front of him.

Reason1: Overspeeding was doing 70+ on a fairly empty strech.
Reason 2: Reckless Driving

The second one is funny when I asked him why I was slapped with reckless driving he tells me I was overtaking from the right side"

Well!! I was speechless! 600 bucks down the drain!!
