Description
Once again the same thing as stated on other police checkpoints around :
- they show you on their phone a photo of your car with a fake red number side of it (in our case 67) and claim it was a 50kmh zone.
- we told them we knew their trick and showed on IOverlander that they are well know for this.
- then we said their phone was not a validated device and that we asked for a photo on a validated device with also the report of the last calibration and the calibration date
- they were very surprised and pretended that they could call the officer to bring the proof but then they would have to fine us.
- « OK please do ».
- very surprised again. Repeated same thing.
- I said again OK please do.
- then they said to follow them on foot, that they would bring me to the officer.
- said no problem.
- they bring me to a random car and saw that I was ready and not willing to grease them.
- so they finally said « OK you can go, I forgive you ».
We left without having to pay. Which is another proof they are corrupted and had no proof whatsoever of an over speed.
Photos
We don't have any photos of this place yet.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
