For me this is what I have been looking for on TE. Not so much a wonderful landscape but something that is shocking and takes me aback. Bribery to a police officer is such a bad thing here and to be caught in a photograph doing so would be a felony and most likely jail time as for me and the officer. I guess if I find myself in the same location as you I will make sure I have some extra cash on me.

Interesting what Mel said here. It is common in Asia where police take bribe. Good observation. Sothy

Hello Wasim,
Sorry for taking so long to reply, i am in a place with difficult internet access.. until tomorrow!
A funny and potentially dangerous for you shot(i wonder if the cops like to be caught in the act!)Good compo, framing, colors and sharpness and clearly visible exchange of services... money for no legal action!
Well caught!

Its actually a Fine Collection Car, and they pay the fine. Just dont explain the picture in the wrong way, u can also say that the police are selling drugs, coz i can see any motorcycle?

ha ha ha...its really a good shot..this shows the law and order of the country...probably thats why this country has a horrible image internationally....
ofcourse not all men like that...some of the pakistani people are very perfect to be friends and really honest and trustworthy...i think..
