Senior - BHPian | ![]() A large fine or a large bribe are not strong deterrents, especially if the offender has deep pockets! A jail term surely is the right kind of deterrent! |

| ![]() While the concept of jailing drunk drivers seems to be good, the reality is that cops can and will misuse this law. Look at this video of corrupt cops in the U.S., misusing drunk driving laws to frame a lady for a minor traffic accident. If this happens in the U.S., where the cops are much, much cleaner than the ones in India, how much misuse do you think Indian cops will do? Crooked Cops Caught Plotting To Frame Motorist (VIDEO) |

| ![]() Shocking video. Wonder what would have happened if it were India. The cops here in Bangalore have stepped up the drive against drunk drivers/riders. There are surprise mid week checks done as well as I found out when I driving back home last night and saw a line of cars and two-wheelers pulled over for drunken driving. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Met up with friends yesterday at Leopolds Cafe. Decided not to drink as I had to drive back. Left at 1130 pm and 1145 pm - just ahead of Byculla was stopped by the cops. I thought a regular naka bandi. So I put down all my windows and promptly was asked to pull over. I did so and a cop thrusts his head right into my mouth and asks - "Naam kya hai ?" "Gautam" I say. "jaao" he says and waves me on. That was the best decision I ever made in my life ![]() ps - I hope my gf is not reading this ![]() |

| ![]() LOL @normally_crazy. This happened with me once as well. It's a little unnerving, the cop thrusting his head right inside. At that time, it was 1.30 in the night and only two of us girls were in the car. Being a teetotaller surely has its advantages! |

| ![]() This remnds me of a funny incident i had during my early days in Bangalore. I was riding down MG Road and was stopped at Anil Kumble Circle. Policeman comes over and asks. "What's your name?" With his nose next to my mouth. King Kong. "WHAT?" King Kong. "Take it on the side. Show your license?" Ok. "Here it says your name is ----- . Who is King Kong?" I thought you wanted to know whether i am drunk. "Yes" So i just replied what came to my mind. "Ok so your name is not King Kong." Nope its ----. "Ok you can go." Bangalore police should watch some English Classics. ![]() |

| ![]() I was new to Bangalore so probably the uncalled for bravado. And the guy had probably never heard of King Kong. I never tried it again. ![]() Last edited by Spitfire : 7th August 2009 at 15:21. |

| ![]() This doesn't necessarily have to be true ![]() The next week, I bumped into him again and this time I told him - "Sir, check me as I might be drunk" and he burst out laughing and let me pass. ![]() |
