I guess they'll be shutting down all those vans packed full of stuff with the back gate open & about 20 people inside

Understand and appreciate local business owners being pissed off about the rozzers, $2-3 donations are almost ok but $20-$50 is way over the score. It can only have a negative impact on folks either staying in Sihanoukville a few days longer or any return visit.
Agreed, would suggest safety in numbers with any direct campaign to highlight these practices and deal with the fuzz.
The combined local babylon will no doubt see it as a real -$$ threat.
Maybees use the kampot polis as a comparison in any discussions or negotiations, there are heaps if not hunders of tourists on hire motos every week but the local pigs seem to take a seasoned and rational approach.

Re: Sihanoukville Police Chief: Shakedowns of Tourists to St
Ok, here is the letter in English and Khmer we are handing over to our guests that rent a motorbike. We do advise them that they should only use it if they did not commit a violation of the traffic rules and regulations, e. g. wearing no helmet, and not use it on a routine check for weapons, when everybody is pulled over. We also tell them cops usually ask for an international drivers license. It is not clear whether they need one in Cambodia. We checked with a lawyer. The law is not explicit on that. But explain that to an uneducated moronic cop. Anyway, along with everything that has been posted here it should help limit these brazen shake-downs.
Feel free to use it but you need somebody to report it in case the guests/tourists bring it back to you.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iQW ... -OqCo/edit

Ok, if you are renting out motorbikes then you should definitely tell your customers what to expect
Another thing is that tourists don't expect to pulled over by cops for "nothing" and sometimes they panic and pay. Might help to tell them that this is just routine and to stay calm (and not to get aggressive, or worry too much .)
Please let us know how this pans out.
