Always wear a Go-Pro. The cops are scared of them.

Yeah, I use DJI Mavic drones rigged to a beacon in my pocket to follow me around. Stealth is where it's at! I also had my fav coffee shop install bullet proof glass and got them to train and certify their guard so that he can open carry a Glock. Maybe I'm just paranoid tho.

A fool and his money are soon departed.
What a banter the cops must have had at his expense after the ATM money collection delay.

everything this government hurts tourism, i.e. inability to draw direct flight to the country, inability to provide a clear visa system, inability to regulate n enforce transport safety etc n the list goes on on on on ....
Money is not the problem, the problem is no money
Re: Sihanoukville cops get greedy: $500 fine for foreigner.
VERY important to remember though, if you don't possess a legitimate licence from your home country AND an international driving permit to ride/drive the class of vehicle you are on and you have an accident, your insurance is null and void. This just happened to an Aussie chick in Bali and she now is relying on a "Go Fund Me" campaign to pay her bills. There have been many threads here about how fukd it is to have to rely on these sorts of money raisers to fix your fuk up, but this chick WAS insured, had a motobike licence, but no international permit. Thought she was aok to go. Easy to give some shit to the cops over a fine, try doing that to the insurance company who denies your emergency flight home. Make sure you have crossed ALL the T's and dotted ALL the I's. Other wise some day braggadocio might come and bite you on the arse!Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Sat Feb 18, 2017 3:22 pm after the new laws any foreigner who pays any fine is a fucking idiot,
just demand a ticket and tell them you will go to the station to pay,
refuse to pay any bribe,
there is no law to say they must pay a bribe,
grow some bollocks,
ive been pulled for lights on, running red lights, no passenger helmet and not paid any fines
"you must pay $$$"
"ok give me ticket"
"no how much you pay now"
"i pay nothing now, give me a ticket and i go pay"
"no but how much you pay now"
"i pay nothing now, give me a ticket"
a few minutes of stalemate and some chit chat
then they just let me go, no bribe/ticket
but yeah on a simpler note, as mentioned if you plan on renting bikes out in a foreign country at least do some research first
the SHV police like to use intimidation tactics in order to fleece money,
thats why they notoriously single out all the backpackers on rent-a-bikes who are likely clueless and scared to get into trouble in a foreign country
dressing appropriately i do notice makes a big difference,
having a proper helmet and not one of those one of those rent-a-bike bowl hats
wearing a shirt/jacket instead of a vest/singlet
trainers instead of flip flops
etc etc, you know normal clothes you would wear riding a moto anyway
will get you a lot less hassle from the police

When is your old man due back btw? Looking forward to catching up with him again for a couple of
