haha ive used the hiding behind the landcruiser/SUVs on many occasions, tbh though these days i rarely get pulled over (touch wood lol) i went through a long patch where the police man would look at me and im thinking 'oh here we go' and he doesnt do anything, theyve probs pulled me over before and know ive got the right paperwork, i guess being covered in tattoos im easily recognizable i dunno, those big road blocks are annoying though every man and his dog gets pulled over, they must make a fortune doing them

Why not just put the Bosses name and number in your phone.
Then next time, "Just let me check this with <Bosses name>", show the cop the name in your phone and see if it registers.

Someone posted the name and number recently, might have been you. But, I'm too lazy to search for it.

Is your mate "ferret face" the one with the bright red eyes ? Maybe he's having problems with his supply ?
If this is the same guy, he has no sense of humour at all.

From the OP article:

General Narin indicated that there would be zero-tolerance for corruption within his force. He gave business owners his personal phone number so that they could report errant officers directly to him.
So does anyone have the sacred phone number ? :please:
(But don't let's get too carried away. Don't expect anyone to answer; hopefully the threat will be enough.)

Been stopped uncounted times since my arrival here a few months ago. Paid $2 twice, learned my lesson and since then carry two bundles of 100R notes covered with a 500R note with me. Estimated value: 0,40$ maximum. Gave it out probably more 15 times so far, 3 times to the same cop. Just stopping for a few secs without a exchanging a single word and throwing two bundles to their feet works actually quite good as well.

Haven't been stopped tho after the new police chief released his press statement (knock on wood) despite driving around the whole town quite frequently and seeing lot of cops around. Might be a "change" that actually happened this time. Or I've just been lucky.
