Police get it both ways

At long last the cat is out of the bag! The front page report published in a local English daily on July 29th reaffirms it. Sadly, it is finally we, the general people, who ultimately have to pay for all this indirectly, through higher price for foodstuff and our other daily necessities. On top of it, as taxpayers we are also paying for the police's salaries and benefits. From us police get it both ways! It is time to call a halt to this regular illegal gratification for some policemen that has been going on and on for many years.
Another related part of this story that was not published is, the internal bribe that policemen have to give to their patrons who awarded them the postings to these prime locations. 'Bokshish' is regularly taken from truck and bus drivers; usually at important highway crossings or bridges. Hopefully, this hearing by the court may help stopping this evil, at least for some time.
