So becoming an Oknha ought to mean that one can use one's vehicle to carry crystal meth, heroin, rosewood, guns, Semtex - in short, the expenditure
required to achieve Oknha status could - with luck - be recouped in a very short time.

Re: Police face demotion for searching oknha's car for rosewood.
That's terrible. I remember quite a few statements from various government leaders, police chiefs, army generals etc that specifically said that the rank & file should just arrest anyone breaking the law, regardless of position.

Silence, exile, and cunning.
