Extortionists in uniform!

A report on extortion by law enforcers in uniform was published in a local English daily on 4th December. It is indeed sad when law protectors themselves become law breakers. Imagine the law enforcers forcing truck drivers to pay toll on cargo of food, vegetables and edibles, or else! This could be a reason for the rise in food prices, since ultimately the consumers indirectly pay the toll to the police. Little wonder people in general distrust the police. Now, they too have become a party to "Chanda-Baji"! Only God can help us.
Which way is the police department going? What has the IG Police got to say about it? The response will be that it is a false and exaggerated report without basis. If only this could be true, then we can relax! But realities are bitter and ugly.
One solution could be that police can collect 'on the spot' fines for traffic law violation and other traffic related offences; then the highway police could share a part of this. They can be rotated at regular intervals, so that all highway police personnel can get a share of some extra income. If we can do this, then the chance of extortion by policemen can be eliminated.
