Two traffic officers fired for corruption,and getting filmed by foreigners
Phnom Penh: According to a report by the National Police Commission on Thursday, two traffic police have been either suspended or fired, (it is unclear if the sanction is temporary or permanent), by the Phnom Penh Municipal Road Traffic Police Office. The two policemen were filmed by some foreign vloggers who were asked for $20 for going through a red light.
The incident has been shown on social media networks and there has been much criticism of police corruption. That is presumably why the officials on high have decided to make a public example of these two.

Nice! I was hoping it was going to be those two fuckers at the corner of Norodom and MTT as you turn right heading to Aeon. Time to strap a GoPro to my noggin.

So to spell it out for noobs, they are not in trouble for extorting money from foreigners, they are in trouble for having their actions caught on camera. It actually pays, if you're traveling in pairs, for the second person to whip out the smartphone and at least look like you're filming, but use discretion on this one - could prove dangerous.

If you watch the video, which is really long so the cop part is just one small scene, they were asking for $20...$10.... and then they noticed the camera and it was just get the fuck out of here, I didn't see nothing on the cop's part.StroppyChops wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 5:30 pm So to spell it out for noobs, they are not in trouble for extorting money from foreigners, they are in trouble for having their actions caught on camera.

Good fuck them, fucking extortionsists. This is why you keep your speed up in the left lane so they don't stand in front of you.
