Something not right?
Description
Stopped by the police because of exceeding speed limit. However we did drive below the maximum speed of 50km/hr. The police officer wanted to become ‘friends’ and solve this problem together: he said we had to pay Ush200.000 to be able to continue driving. We weren’t drive too fast.

Report Check-InThey are still operating, they said we were doing 57km/h when our gps showed 35km/h. Once we pointed to the dash cam and GPS and said sorry not more than 40, they said we make allowances and carry on.
We met them 2 villages west of the point marked on here, just before Bukinda.
Report Check-InWe got stopped one village to the west. They said we were speeding by going 61km in a 50 zone but we told him no, it was a 80km zone and we slowed down before the 50km and he told us to go.
Report Check-InThey still appear to be active in this area. We got pulled over one village to the west even though I was only doing 40 and had a tour vehicle behind me which they did not pull over. He started on about 50 zone and I informed him I was doing 40 and pointed to gps... he then told us to proceed
Report Check-InPolice was at this exact same spot. They asked me to stop, but I pretended I did not understand and kept driving. I don't like doing that but that was the easiest way to prevent hassles...

The police officer wanted to become ‘friends’ and solve this problem together: we had to pay Ush200.000 to be able to continue driving. We negotiated to pay Ush100.000, but are still very unhappy with the outcome, because we didn’t drive to fast.
