Police experience

I have a few idiotic experience which I would like to share. Once I had a car breakdown right in front of Ampang Park traffic lights. It was in the morning and I was hurrying to work. When my car broke down there was already a traffic policeman managing the traffic flow at the craoss junction. I waited by the side of the road for more than 30 minutes without anyone stopping to help me push the car around the corner onto Jalan Tun Razak to where it won't be blocking anyone. Anyway I can understand that everyone is rushing to work so I do not expect any help until a while later.

Anyway after the majority of the traffic rush has passed slightly after 9 am, the traffic cop that was managing the traffic came over. I thought that he was coming over to help me push my car to a safer location so I gave him a smile and a nod of thanks. What a surprise it was when he reached me and told me that I was obstructing traffic and that he would have to give me a traffic summons. I tried pleading to him and explained the situation but he was insistent on giving me a summons. I even explained that as a civil servant and also a traffic policeman it was his duty to help me instead of punishing me for something which I did not even intend of happening and also something which I had no control over. I mean do you think I wished for my car to break down? Anyway the best part of it was he ended up helping me to push my car to a safer location. I mean where is the logic in that? It would have been better if he would just help me and left in the first place, instead of giving me a summons and then help me.

Another time I met a stupid cop was when I was driving with my family. I had just turned down from the ramp from Jalan Kuchai Lama onto the Sungai Besi Highway when there was a police block in front of the road. When I reached the block I was directed to the side of the road and was told by a policeman that I was speeding. I asked him where they were shooting the speed radar from and was informed that it was somewhere along Jalan Sungai Besi before the Kuchai Lama exit ramp. It was apparently aimed at cars coming from KL. I immediately laughed and informed the stupid cop that I had just come from the ramp and that it would be physically impossible to have shot me with the radar gun and that he must have mistaken me for a different car. He said that was impossible and was still trying to get me to admit to my speeding offense. I then asked him to show me where the policeman that was operating the radar gun and it was then that he started to show signs of panic. I think that it was just a bluff on his part to see whether I will crack under pressure and probably offer him and his mates something extra for having him help me out of getting a traffic summons. Wow... I mean this is the first time I have seen policemen trying to fake an offence. Anyway this happened years ago and I have forgotten much of the details. I am sure that not all police are bad but I have had one too many bad experience with police blocks.
