Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): Recently, 3 traffic officers have become the subject of criticism by social media users after they were shown stopping a car going through a green traffic light at the 7 Makara flyover.

Meanwhile, on 18 April 2023, the Phnom Penh Police Station Chief explained the incident, saying that senior officers have investigated the incident, and summoned the 3 traffic officers who were on duty at the flyover. After questioning, the three traffic officers admitted that they made a mistake when they stopped the Lexus RX300 when the traffic light was green.

In addition, the traffic officiers were issued warning letters describing their illegal actions, asked to sign contracts to promise their future improvement, and were sent for disciplinary proceedings.

They'd be better off continuing to extract money from motorcyclists, for real and imaginary offenses. Apparently car owners can be a lot of trouble.

Surely this is a workplace injury, leading to a reduction in required medical fitness due to late diagnosis of colour blindness?

Those old cunts have worked that corner for many years. Often they lay in wait just around the corner of a small one way street that joins Russian Bvld nearby the skybridge with inadequate signage

They have had me hot under the collar and once extracted 15000r from me as a "we'll fuck off and leave you alone now fee" while I was looking for a shop while in the truck oneday
