Carte Blanche

[Bondizzo]

I wasn't sure whether I wanted to laugh or cry at the 24-hour report-a-cop thing. You must write down the serial numbers of the bank notes you give the officer in question in order for matters to even be considered. Why not just write his name and badge number accompanied by a cell phone mugshot of the guy while you're at it?

Wonder how much it'd cost to hire out some metro escorts for a day? I'm sure if you're willing to cough up enough cash, you could have your very own blue light brigade. I suspect however that the deal wouldn't include lunch.

I dont get it, if you write down the number on the note how do they track it ? Do they track all the money that metro cops use lol ?

Well, not only is the idea laughable in itself but completely pointless.

Especially since money is in constant circulation, so even if you could track where the note is it is not necessarily with the person who took the bribe.
I agree that people cannot be prosecuted without evidence, but with large parts of the country under video surveillance exactly how much more evidence do you need?

Under cover police officers should conduct random inspections at road blocks as suggested by someone on Carte Blanche posing as a motorist without a drivers license for example. Surely the onus is not on the public to prove guilt but the public merely reports cases of bribery (in affect making them as guilty as the recipient).

UC hands traffic cop R250. UC flashes badge. Traffic cop hands UC R500. UC drives away.
