And stopped near my vehicle. I saw and ran towards them
They charged me 300 rs (100 rs for wrong parking and 300 for towing).I told him they did'nt did the towing then how can they charge me. That SI even won't know English (I don't know how he became SI (Airport police station)).My friends talked with in kannada and he didn’t agreed. And those guys where misbehaving and dis -respecting us. They are supposed to serve us!.I have noticed the number of the towing vehicle.
At last after lot of hungama they left. I couldn’t do any thing.
First the government is allowing so many hotels and shops to come with out any parking plan. Second how craps this people charge as what ever they want. He gave be a receipt. The funny part is that he gave me both parts (the receipt and counter file).I know that was fake one and money goes to this guys pocket.
Can we do some thing about such crap people? If I complaint will some thing happen. I know this money is shared by every body. So even if complain some thing will happen? 
Please give your suggestions.How can i take forward ?Rather then money I am pissed of their attitude |
I don't understand your attitude, when you know its a traffic violation why dont you just pay the fine.
In the US if you argue or back answer a cop who pulls you over, you can get arrested for not allowing a public servant from carrying out his duty.
If you feel that a particular mall has come up and does not have parking then just avoid it or complain to the mall or building owner about it.
Rememeber at the end of the day the traffic cop is just doing his duty. If he is taking a bribe it is not correct but in your case he gave you a challan.
If you do not agree with the traffic police, you can always exercise your option of going to the court which hears traffic redressals (I think it is mayo hall). I am not sure but I think that they will also impound your license and give it you after the courts verdict.
I was in a similar situation last week. I was on old madras road and I jumped a red light thinking it was a free left. I got stopped and so did 6 other vehicles before me. All of us had to pay a fine, people who cannot pay (drivers) have to pay the amount later as the challan is sent to the owner by mail. I could have argued about bad roads and and traffic light not being visible, but that is the elected goverements job to keep it working.
