I don't know if this section of xBhp is suitable to post or not. So I'd like mods to please shift the thread to other section if it does not belong here.
What bought me here is the "HELP ME!" Tag.
Seriously I'm very much fed up of Mumbai Police and their logic's.
Being a Delhi / Ghaziabad Wala & Having a Pulsar 220 (always suspect) Black color with with a UP14 Registration (Foreigner) is a serious crime in Mumbai. They treat me like I'm a Foreigner / Terrorist & it is their land. Sometimes, the argue go real bad when they do not care that I have all the papers, safety gears but what they don't like is I'm from Delhi, I speak Hindi which is Delhi Language for them and I should not open my mouth because this is not Delhi.
They continue speaking in their mother tongue Marathi, even after telling them that I do not understand it.
Keeping all the headaches and incidents away where I've been threaten to put up in Jail for 15 days or where I had to pay 500 / 1000 bucks because of the situation.
Or where I paid 16rs because that's all I had in wallet Or where I was continuously forced to agree that I'm a racer.
The topic here is GoPro :
(I'll try to keep short)
Incident 1 :
Gorai, Mumbai :
After checking all papers, the topic changed to my GoPro. Within several minutes they started saying why am I recording, whether I sell these videos to terrorists.
They started using bad words in their language, which I understand a bit and argued back.
That was the biggest crime ever.
Then I was threatened that they will call ATS (Anti Terrorist Squad) and I will be behind bars.
Tension & argue around. I left the place. Topic ends.
Incident 2 :
Andheri, Mumbai :
I was riding a testbike of Triumph StreetTriple 675 & was stopped at a checking point (Naka-bandi they call it).
After confusing with the Bike looks, price and why the headlight is On. They started asking me about GoPro (Which was switched off, without memory card).
They started talking whether they should take me to court or police station.
They demanded me for the Chip (Memory card), my luck which I did not had. Class-10 64Gb ain't that cheap. :P
Every single from 2 start to a hawaldar (total 8) was asking for the complete details and why I do it.
Then I was accused of working with Google & other big companies. I record for them and I sell them. So I should either go Court or Pay them a good amount out of my income.
Somehow after 15 min. I escaped.
There were times where I was threatened to put behind bars because I had a DSLR in hand or in bag. And taking photographs is not allowed.
Now, Please throw some light on the Topic :
Is GoPro Illegal in India ?
Using it on helmet, chest mount or bike is Illegal / not allowed ?
I know helmet could be very easy to catch but they poke even if its mounted on Bike.
Recording a video or taking a photograph is so illegal in Mumbai/ India ?
