        Me and my friend were caught smoking a cigarette in Bengaluru. The officer saw us and demanded a fine of Rs.600. We came down to 100 but he wrote my friend’s name with my number. Now I am scared asf as my friend told me to not give my number to him. Will this affect me in any way as I recently got placed and am scared asf?

          NAL but they probably won’t do shit. They have taken your number to scare you off.

                  Legally speaking, smoking on the roads has always been an issue, it’s just that it’s only enforced if the cops around are corrupt

                      Please refer to Sec.4 of the COTPA act. It explicitly prevents smoking in public places.

                        Background of the law is that a person was smoking in a train in Kerala in front of a pregnant lady. The pregnant lady filed a writ petition, which led to the first ban on public smoking.

                            Bruh it’s indian moral police. There’s no rule for smoke or alcohol ban but meat ban is full throttle.

                              He wrote your friend’s name to show that he’s not a corrupt cop. But he is. That the money you gave him is going to the govt, but he’s going to pocket it.

                              It’s like asking a tramp if you’ve a minute to talk about something important, and they take out their fake schedule diary to check whether they have the minute to spare or not. Pretend, pretend..

                                      Correct it, Nazi boy. Teach me, I won’t mind. But you just pointed it out and did no good to no one.

                                                      I was talking about Grammer. Kelsey Grammer.

                                                              That’s the US of A, where freedom actually means what’s stated in the dictionary. 

                                                              You may or may not agree with it, but people like Ye push at what the masses consider the edge of acceptable behavior to test whether the US is actually free or not.

                                                      Not a crime. It means he knows another language.

                                                    Chill bro there’s no issue here. For this you are usually left with a warning and nothing else

                                                        NAL, but an *advocate* for body cam on police! This sort of shit helps neither the state nor the citizen. Fuck this petty thief who dons a police uniform!

                                                            I appreciate your idea. It will affect the situations where there are multiple cops..but not when there is singular one..as he might claim malfunction..but it’s a start.

                                                                I’ve been caught doing the same almost 20 times in Bangalore. One day I was having a tea around 5 PM and just when I thought it was a good time to light one, 2 police officers came in a bike and caught me. Then they had this half A4 sized paper with some Kannada written all over it. I just gave him my contact number and name along with Rs. 200 in cash that I had to borrow from the same panvadi. Anyway later that night at around 12:00 I was going to my office to wrap up some p0 thing that we had to ship the next day, so I thought I should light another one assuming that police men won’t be around. Well, unlucky me, the same pair caught me again. But as it was midnight and u didn’t have cash, they let me go after lecturing me for more than 15 minutes about why I should smoke cigarettes but indoors only.

                                                                Anyway, all good buddy.
