It's from Animal Farm by George Orwell where the pigs run the commune and turns into real corrupt bastards.

I have never lived in a country where the police were respected, but here is a new low.

The word 'pigs' for police comes from the early 1800s - I'll see if I can find a reference.

Life is complete, huh?

Police pulled her over because her motor doesn't have plate number. This is what they got afterward. She told them off so badly.

This is the actual receipt from the Snookyville town clowns for their "driving while white/running a red light" scam. Hopefully this 5000 riel didn't make it into their beer fund.

The law/fines paperwork is so much fun to hand these thieves in blue. They really don't have an answer for it as it says all over it to get a receipt or its corruption. Wish I had it in Khmer.

I'd hate to say it, but sometimes I'd rather pay a BS 10,000 riel fine than the $275 speeding fine I just incurred elsewhere... I've been pulled over at least 5 times here, but in total that's equated to maybe $25 of "extortion money" in Cambodia.

I don't like to feed the corruption express here. I blame all the road accidents/deaths on the police for not getting off their dead butts and enforcing traffic laws. Usually I'm the only one setting at a red light, but after the BIB did their red light scam for a few days in Snooky, a few more cars stopped with me. It was funny to see cars setting half way into the intersection when the driver realized the cops were on the corner and they couldn't just run the red light.

I've been setting at red lights and had cops on bikes and in new cop cars/trucks go around me to run red lights. Great example, Not! How about taking those new cop cars/trucks and patrolling Hwy #4, the Death Highway from Hell. Just like people throwing garbage all over the place or dumping their garbage in the streets/empty lots/beach, you've got to make them not want to do it. "Wallet Education."

They are very lucky I'm not the head cop here as all of my cops would be rich from actually patrolling and handing out tickets right and left. (If your going to be corrupt why settle for small change, there is a gold mine of traffic fines out there.)
