Grievance Redress Mechanism in Government
this is the readdressal mechanism started by the Indian Govt. I am not sure if this works for the Cops as well, but i have heard bout complaints being answered for BSNL and other issues.

They are tying to recover 21lakhs what they have spentOriginally posted by tibby View PostThanks MG_Biker!
@All: I just realised that some of you might not be aware of Interceptor that I have mentioned in the 1st post. Well, interceptor is a jeep of the BTP (Bangalore Traffic Police), that has a high-tech speed gun, and a camera which is connected to a laptop. Each interceptor costs 21 Lakh INR & is used to capture images & speeds of vehicles approaching the interceptor. It can record speeds & images of vehicles moving at a distance as far away as 1.5 Kms from the device, but moving towards it.
even i feel its useless . Many times near command hospital i have seen these bugger catching ppl. even speldor / platina guys are not spared. What the hec. In one way its good but these guys need to be reasonable . its not possible to ride at 60kmph when roads are empty. i have seen cops on pulsars ripping on airport road . who will monitor them

This is bad! I am wondering if there were things like this in Hyderabad, I would be caught every single day!
Anyways, I recently stopped here for a routine check&they didn't want to see my RC, even after stopping me. It was under the seat btw.
I agree that most of these cops are out to make a buck, but their main targets are college kids. I made it a point to stay out of their way when I was in college.

the big pain is for the outstation guys who dont know the language.Originally posted by dhairya View PostWhere I live in Delhi, as soon as you exit the coclony's main road to the Outer Ring road, there is a police barricade and I have always seen motorcyclist being stopped there. I do not know why. You can not speed over there even you are Rossi -its so congested and narrow. I think its becos people on commuter bikes are easy prey. In your case - R15 means - rich guy, will give bribe easily. Its just pure business sense for the cop. (Remember they never joined the police to help people in the first place). He is in the business of extracting bribes. Simple!
I am glad that you took a stand. One should be aware of their rights and should sticck with the princinples, be confident and not budge under pressure. Its not matter of few bucks. It a matter of principle. Do not forget you paid for that cop's salary!
and more over when a cop says he will cease the bike it is a shocker. and we just try and get the hell out of there by paying what ever it is we have to.
Will have to start standing up to them cops from now on i guess. this is happening way too often and to way too many people.

@ all: Interceptors have been there for quite some time now in Chennai.
These guys are like kids with new toys... Once they are done with toys and new given authority even this will get boring.... If a Traffic police tries to stop me, here i stop make him eat his own words and get lost from there......

Not fluent, but 'm decent at it! Can argue with those idiots easily, when pushed..Originally posted by Samyaza View Post@tibby: Are you fluent in Kannada?
Whats GQ bro? Like you have also noticed, there are no such signboards on this stretch. And if the speed limit is really 60 for bikers, they better put up such signboards.Originally posted by rahuldevnath View PostWell there is always a differential speed limit for different type of vehicle. on GQ its mentioned, and yes it is 60kmph for 2-wheelers. But I don't recall any such sign on Hebbal-Devanhalli route.
Do they expect us to know what the rulebook has to say for each stretch of road here..!
Dude! You must see how the cops here stop people on 2-wheelers. No point evading them. & more often than not, they have backup units few metres ahead. So yahan nahi toh aagey pakad lenge. & then you can't even argue you're innocent (even though you may be)..Originally posted by moeed View PostI think, if one is following all the traffic rules then he need not stop for these silly cops.
+1Originally posted by n.krishna.p View PostI just did not budge to their pressure. The very same reason telling that they will book for rash driving and all. I just said seize my bike, put up a case and told them i will appoint an advocate immediately and I called up my friend's sister who is an advocate. Then I started noting their names and started enquiring from which jurisdiction they were from. They the guy sitting inside the jeep got out and start preaching that overspeeding is not good and they are posted at this place to bring awareness. Then they finally let me go.
@ALL: Guys ensure you are in either the middle lane or the left lane and be well below 60 to avoid these morons. If they still stop you, dont budge, dont budge
You must argue with the BTP cops.. They can't do much if you take a firm stand against them..
& to give you guys an idea of how brave BTP cops are, they caught me while I was on the right-most lane of the 3 lane HIGHWAY!

Yeah its kind of on a downhill left curve. Without realising you go over the speed limit on the slope.

Even I was caught on the same stretch. Same bloody reason, i was well below 60 kmph. I just did not budge to their pressure. The very same reason telling that they will book for rash driving and all.
