Something not right?

Description

The police stop every vehicle and inform them they have been speeding with no proof. We stayed in our car, spoke some basic swahili with them and the officer wanted us to buy water for the police from the shop next door for 5000tsh. We feigned ignorance, showed them our bottle of water stating we don't need any and they waved us along.
