Tout officers

Hello People!✋
Weekend is here again and those that are relieved from work on weekends are happy already. Those that don't know the difference between a weekday and a weekend because of the nature of their work will get along.

Thank you sponsors

In my region (my country as a whole), we have some traffic officers that are not officially inaugurated, I mean they're not directly recognised by the country's law. They only operate at the local level or within the section of any particular community. They don't go with uniforms, they move around seeking for whom to devour.

Although their laws governing the environment is good and beneficial to the community but they do it on the extra note.

Take a look at some of their laws;

• Do not carry more than two passengers on a bike.

• Do not cross a kerb in order to bypass a roundabout

• Do not park irregularly along the road

• Do not drive in an opposite way.

I'm sure some of these laws are effective in your country too and are being overseen by a group of officers.

Normally, it supposed to be uniform men that should be in charge of the laws but in my own country, uniform men are hardly seen on this wing, the people that are effective on this task are the random people on the street that are  recognised in that hood.

If by any mistake you are caught by this group, they'd demand for huge some of money to bail out and if you refuse to pay, then they'll escalate the issue and make it more troublesome. First of all, they'll take your motorcycle or car to the police station and once your property gets to a police station, then you're doomed to pay double.

Wait, I know you're relating already but these people are not in uniform. So it's not the usual one you know. I once experienced trouble with the uniform group, I entered their den and I was made to pay huge amount of money. Ever since then, I dodge them once I see them from afar.

But the one I'm referring to on this article are not the ones you can dodge because they don't wear uniforms and they don't have a permanent spot for operation, they move around like CID😢.

I had an encounter today.

I boarded a bike to market to buy some materials and as we were coming back, the bikeman decided to take a shortcut and that was the moment a man from nowhere blocked us and collected the key of the motorcycle and told us to park somewhere. I knew it's gonna be tough to bail out, we pleaded and gave some lies in order for them to release us but the angriest among them refused.

They demanded for $7 and said if the bikeman doesn't pay they would take the bike to the police station and that'll make the case worst.

The bikeman had no money on him and he pleaded so badly for them to release him but hell no, they still refused.

I had to bring out the money in my pocket (the money I was supposed to pay the bike man plus extra money) to give them because they needed money badly that's why they were serious about it.
After much talk and pleading, they later accepted the money and got the bikeman released.

It was a bad day for the bikeman because I was his first customer for the day and he lost the money to those people.

For people that understand this kind of operation and the environment very well, we are always careful not to fall on the trap of these people, because once you fall, it's hard to come out without spending much.
