I was standing near Whitefield in my 4 wheeler around midnight, just away from the hustle bustle of the fast life, smoking a cigarette and had a beer 1 hour before the incident (beer can was present in the car) when a police Jeep stopped and asked me to come out.
They checked my entire car (to find more illegal drugs 'read Marijuana') but didn't find anything.
Started threatening me with the car seizure. When I asked them to do breath analyzer test as I was 100% sure of being in the permissible limit, they asked me to come to police station for the same after they issue me a challan.
How can they issue a drink driving challan when I am not drunk and without a breath analyzer? And started threatening me with 25000 rs fine plus car being released in 6 months plus more than a lac of rupees in lawyer cost. (Ofcourse bullshitting me)
They were doing the proper good cop bad cop tactic and I had to pay them 7k bribe just to get out of there. (Couldn't risk the whole court drama, couldn't afford time as I was roaming without the knowledge of my family and avoid anxiety to them and my car also has northern registration)
But is this justified ? Can we not even smoke a cigarette in our vehicle in this godforsaken city ? Do we need to be mindful of the goons or the police ?
Anyways, what is the best way to get out of such situations?
you paid them bribes and have the audacity to question them doing illegal stuff ?
you are part of the problem
Yeah, thats what normal people do in the end.
Either you are too idealistic, have too much time at your disposal or you have not been in such situations.
If you accept it, write another post explaining what you did and keep the title "i did an illegal thing, shame on me"
Leave bangalore bro. Its a piece of shit and a corruption mafia city. I left in 4 months. Move to gurgaon, hyderabad, mumbai whatever is closer to home.
Good you left, one less problem in the city!
Don't worry intern, you will leave too
In all honesty, It is illegal to smoke or drink in car.

Lmao when did it becomes illegal to stay out at midnight OR keeping empty can in car ??
It is not illegal but becomes illegal when u r drunk and tested positive... It is ok to stay out at midnight...unknowingly if there is a dead body some feet away from u and u didn't get a chance to notice ...the first thing police do when they enter crime scene is suspect you and include u in the FIR report....
Basically the title. Did one of these about a year ago and thought I'd do another one.
