few days ago, me and my friend were coming from chembur mumbai, we were stopped near mankhurd
by police and immediately at the stop, they easily found out my friend who was driving, was drunk..
we had a little talk with police, they immediately took my car and parked in there chowki and we were asked to sit in there bolero, and we did
they slapped a drunk driving case on my friend, and was asked to come to kurla court at 8:30
in the morning we found out, that our mobile numbers were already there with kurla court lawyers, as soon as we went in they approached us, starting to convince us
there were atleast 40-50 ppl with the same crime came in the morning at the court
what iam trying to say here, there is a nexus police+lawyers+judge, all work hand in hand together and enjoy drunk driving money
plice+lawyer+judge share the cut
i was told my friends licence will be cancelled and will be atleast 2 days in jail
to have no punishment, pay 25000, dhun i said 25000 is just too much, at the most i said i can give 10000, but 1-2 hours they agreed.
judges has been given god like position can impose any fine and also increase number of days in jail on his free will, in case of drunk driving
judge slapped 2 days jail to my friend, but he was just kept till evening and was released
after paying some 2000 to the cop who was on duty to send him in jail
Anna hazare is right, these top notch guys have formed a nexus and they loot and thats why he is so against the system and its true
strong laws are made so that they can make more money, big fines and big jail even for non voilent crimes
actual charge is, it differs from person to person
i noticed every 1 paid differently for the same crime, some paid as low as 5000,4000,3000, 1 guy paid 14000, and all were relased in the evening
so when u r caught drunk driving
try to pay 1000-2000 immediately and leave
but if police registers u then
pay maximum 3000 for 2 wheeler
and maximum 5000 for 4 wheeler
i have heard that they have put some guys in jail for talking on the phone, while driving, 2-3 days for talking on the phone while driving is just too much
such stringent laws will make public hate the system, and these laws were made to make money :)
guys who barb for stronger laws be careful, it can come back to you too.
