(it's prohibited and you are not suppose to Stop either !)
2. A single cop CANNOT seize your driving license !
3. Only a 'traffic control' cop has the authority to request
anything MORE than your NIC when you are behind wheels.
4. A single traffic cop NEVER can press charges against you.
HE MUST HAVE A WITNESS IF DOES SO.
5.. That's why you always find 'two' cops together
6. Police is a peace controlling force. NOT AN ARMED FORCE !!!
They are prohibited by LAW to carry anything more than a BATON !
(but due to the prevailing WAR, they are issued Guns by a supreme
court ruling,till the war ENDS)
7. So, if a Cop pulls a gun on you, YOU CAN sue him !!!
8. If a COP claims that you are drunk, you have the FULL right
to ask for a 'balloon test', if they DO NOT HAVE it in
their possession on the time of your request, you can GO.
9. Only Traffic Cops have the RIGHT to stop any moving
vehicle. (that's why you find at least 1 normal cop in
every checkpoint even though they are manned by Army)

PREMISES without a court Order. You have the
FULLEST right ASK for it, if they try to enter and also
DENY their entrance if you 'feel' like it.
11. A traffic cop CANNOT seize your driving license UNTIL he
fully states the crime you have committed and the relating
penal code violation. If he is unsuccessful in stating
them, you can go free

to come to the police station to collect it. DO NOT GO !
Lodge a complain directly to Police commission or the

misconduct and unruly behaviour.

(if you think he's doing it on purpose to harass you)
