Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): On the night of 21 January 2022, the competent authorities of Chamkar Mon District Police Inspectorate who were conducting traffic enforcement operations along Sothearos Road in front of Tonle Bassac Administrative Police Station stopped 1 motorbike with 4 people (two adults and two children) who were not wearing helmets.
At that time, the driver refused to cooperate with the police to settle this traffic offence, claiming that he was a journalist, and he used inappropriate language at the police officers while recording videos of the incident.
Currently, his motorbike, which has a mobile phone charger in the boot, and 4 cans of beer, 1 can of orange juice (hanging on the motorbike) are being kept at the Chamkar Mon District Police Inspectorate for a future settlement with the owner.

In a message to the public, the Phnom Penh Municipal Police warns users of the road that those who drive not in compliance with the law and use inappropriate words towards law enforcement officials will face the consequences as stipulated under the law, whether journalist, civil servant or civilians in general.
