14 Cars Confiscated by Police, Driven by Chinese Without a License, Sihanoukville

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

So do they actually keep the cars or do they return them, after a “fine”, until the next time?

$3 You kidding. Lol. More like 'That corrupt policeman (who was getting paid about $60-80 a month, at the time), tried to extort me for 10,000r, but hey ho, I only paid 5000r. That is the correct price. '(Was at the time.) That is actually true, but in my defense, the cops in Sihanoukville would stop you several times a day (at the time.) Things have changed.

I'm not sure that the police are getting paid better wages now, but the Chinese in cars should be better payers than barangs on motos. (And there are more of them. ) And it's not really a shakedown, because if you have a driver's license then you don't pay. When you see how some people drive in Sihanoukville, I think it's a good thing that the police are checking licenses.
