Procedures to follow in the event you are stopped by uniformed police Officers while driving.

Stop the car and wind down your window.
If the police officers ask for your documents, request to see their IDs first.
If you are satisfied about their identity, ask them if you are being summoned, and for what offence.
Produce your identity card and driver's license and wait to collect your summon ticket.

In the event that the police officers ask you to follow them to the police station:

Ask if you are under arrest and for what offence.
If you are not under arrest, you have the right to leave.

Do not let them in before checking their IDs.
If you are not satisfied, phone the nearest police station and confirm if they had been sent to your house.

good info! great job mate! this shud b pinned!

lol.. off topic...

You: Tuan, Boleh tolong tak?
Police: macam mana nak tolong? hehe..

What happens if they (wearing plainclothes) have a warrant ?

As for my opinion, if the police want to search your house with a warrant, I guess he should be in a proper "dressing"

If not maybe you could 1st ask them "aren't you suppose to wear a uniform?", and then you could call the police station to confirm.

Last time my friend was stopped by a police for crossing a red light..It was his first time being stopped by a police, he opened his car door and went near to the policeman to collect the summon and the policeman said "apa u buat? masuk dalam kereta, masuk..masuk.." hahaha.

So next time if any of u guys get booked, make sure u stay in ur car..

Haha, that's wat i always do

The police then say to me: "Okey, kamu cepat2 bagi duit itu, masuk buku saman saya, sebelum kolik saya nampak"

raya soon

everyone keep telling me becareful on the road..

dunno mean keep an eye on who.. -.-

Last 2 week when I was headed to KL I also got stopped by a police at highway near to Sg Besi toll, that time was about 5.00am.
At that time I was overtaking the police car(Volvo type), then suddenly he open the signal light and ask me to pullover.
Then I stop, the police man came to me and ask for my IC & license, I give my MyCard, he ask me where is my license, I told its in MyCard, then he ask me to get out and follow him to his car.. Ok, I get out of the car and follow him, and I ask him what is my kesalahan? then he show to me that I shouldn't use the shiny plate number,
Oh!(hehehe) then I tell him that I'm sorry this is not my car, he told me the one who is driving is supposed to be responsible. then I say I'm sorry again..
and it seem is like he is not gona give me a ticket is like he is kind of delaying things... and it is lucky for me I used to worked at Bukit Aman IT, Traffic & SB department, I used to take care the summon server there.. and of course I know the policemen there.. ,

Then I told the policemen the story where I worked.. then he asks me who is my officer.. then I told him Tuan A is my officer, he ask me do I know Tuan I, then I told him not only Tuan I, I also know Tn. Ai, Tn. S(this guy is the one who sign the summon), and also I mention to him I also maintain a server in Special Branch which under Tn. Ai...... then the guy said ok you can go.. and please change the plate number...

good info..definitely good idea to pin

I heard that sometimes they are off duty, and will just roam the streets to collect duit kopi. Is there any way for us to check if they are on or off duty? These scums just want to get undertable money! Dirty dogs! Especially around festive season!

How do you sure that its an authenthic police ID. I for one nvr seen a real one yet.

What should I do if they scold me or get mad when I request for their ID?

"Suruh u bagi IC, lesen, u bagi lah! Banyak cakap buat pe?!"

And what if the uniformed police is actually a bogus cop? Nowadays IC also can be faked... who knows bout their ID? Just few of my thoughts.

U can straight drive away. BUT immediately drive to police station and make a report. OR u can ask the policeman to wait, call up the police station and ask whether he is a real policeman a not.

Most advisable is call up the police station. You have the right doing so. In my opinion, if u drive away, they have the right to open fire too as they could say u are a suspicious suspect.

Yeah, very true and reasonable. Thanks for the info!

Welcome. Juz my 2 cents.

Wah! Great info there! Should have posted last week la...just only last Saturday I kena tahan by police

What offense?

Accused for making an illegal U-turn...which I did not Ajak me masuk court somemore

what car u ar using? maybe an exensive car thats why the police tahan u..

It used to happend to my father lol, speeding case at highway senai. The police tahan my father's car and said he is speeding.. and its actually NOT!!!
Coz at that time my father want to fatch my mom at airport, the flight arrival is 1 hour more, so my father taking his sweet swee time to get there.. but suddently kena tahan..

Good info here. Esp when holiday session .. cheer

at least you didnt kena like me

btw.. just to clarify stuff, the police does not need a search warrant to enter your house. It was also mentioned in The Star papers, can't remember which date liao...

Also plainclothes policeman came to my rented house once to arrest one of my housemate for suspected arson. They had IDs but no search warrant.

they dun really need it, coz they can always make excuse like, they suspect criminal activities is going on inside or the suspect will escape by the time they get the warrant.

Anyone got caught for making out in the car ah?

my friend stopped the car by the road shoulder to rest with his gf in the passenger seat, police came and asked him to leave and do "it" at home.... kekeke.

He was feeling tired becoz of a long night partying, wanted to rest a bit before drive home, but too bad kena halau by police.

must save the police numbers in HP liaw

got example of the type of shiny number plate u using ? is it the plate shining or the numbers are shining?

number shining

Watch CSI? I think it should be something like it, when the police want to meet someone at the house and right after that they always ask "can we come in.......?" if not they should get a warrant for that.



Its a shining number...

My case is very malu one. Me & my bf is tengah pak toh at ... dono the place name, it's like on top of a hill la "san ting". Usually there will be a few couples there but on that nite, we're the only couple. We've been there a few times before but never see any policeman. The time is around 11pm & we did nothing, just chat. He sat on driver's seat & me on the passenger seat with a cushion on top of my lap. A police officer knock our window asked for our ICs. Then he asked my to take away the cushion to see whether Im having my pants ON! That's was most embarrassed moment of my life! I felt so humiliated! I swear to my bf that I wont return to that place for the rest of my life.

The police hamsap wanna see ur legs only la... lol. what did the police say after that?

He asked us to leave loh.

damn i agree wif you man ...

Police need a warrant to search a house. Enter a house without a warrant I don't think so. Can any1 clarify tis?

ala ... nowdays policemen hav to pride already... rm10 oso take... my dads case , just came back to nilai doing something , me and my dad was only person in the car, .... after making a turn , i saw a policeman behind a mountains of sand and at the same time me and my dad wre not wearing seat belts so,since we make the mistake so kena la... then the policeman asked for the IC and licence. suddenly my dad came out from the car and started to talk with the policeman who is held us. then my dad shows he's striker at the top of the front glass . it was a Jabatan Perdana Menteri sticker . i completely forgot that my dad is a diplomat ... after a while of talking, my dad came in back and drove off... he said " huh... nowdays, policemen has no pride . RM 10 bucks oso take . i saw laughing al the way from the police road block....

I have doubts about the numbers. Why is it one digit less? shouldn't it be 8 digits like normal household numbers? And i wouldn't want to try to test the number. lol

" it was a Jabatan Perdana Menteri sticker . i completely forgot that my dad is a diplomat ... after a while of talking, my dad came in back and drove off... he said " huh... nowdays, policemen has no pride . RM 10 bucks oso take . i saw laughing al the way from the police road block.... "

seriously dun care who u are, if u broke the law u ought to pay for the tickets. More and more people are like ur dad with watever mentari stickers who can get priviledges if kena saman.. all BS...

cheras no. in 8 digit shoud be 03-92842222

Not sure of all this applicable to the average joe like us. IF we talked back (like asking them to show their ID), they might feel a bit uneasy and might play games with you. And driving back to the police station would help anything? I doubt it, as they are in the same gang.

Seriously, I think i'd developed 'malaysian-police-phobia'. felt uncomfortable seeing a police, even if i did nothing wrong, coz of the story i've heard and some personal encounter.

Probly, its good if some of us really had some nice story to share about our police force. Probly then I will develope some confident over our police force.

The first thing i'd do if i'm stopped by a police is to remove all cash from my wallet leaving only a 10 bucks note. hide the rest of cash elsewhere. then when police asks, i'd just tell him i only have 10 bucks. it works for me many times!

I got a case here even funnier.

my fr was driving and talking on phone, without handsfree , but with loud speaker . Then a police car ask him to stop ny the roadside. A policeman came to him ask ask:"encik, tahu tak apa kesalahan encik buat?" Fr said:" tak tau". then he said:" encik cakap hanpon tak guna hanpree, say akan keluar saman bagi cik"

My fr know he was wrong, coz he read from the paper said, taking with loud speaker is also breaking the laws. Then my fr asked" Tuan, boleh tolong?" .He said:" Tolong? Saya memang suka tolong orang punya." . Then my fr asked straight ways:" Berapa baru tuan boleh tolong?" . He said:"kami ada 2 orang, RM50 la." . Then my fr said:"kurang sikit boleh tak...RM30 boleh?"

After a few minutes of "bargain", he agreed to settle with RM30. So my fr looked in his wallet and....Shit.....he only have RM50 notes in his wallet.....Then he said:"Tuan, tak ada wang kecil la." He said:" tak apa, u tunggu." then he went to his car and come back to my fr with RM20.....

hahahahaha.....

they should look like policeman..or else

Aiyaaa..common la.....nowaday traffic policeman very aggreessive leh....bcoz raya is coming....

i guess in a way they are respectable. say 1 means 1, say 2 means 2.

comman guys...at least i think they are doing u a favor....
30 instead of 300

me? I've yet to own a car....but yes, i've got summon RM300 for my bike.. also because of shining plate number

What if you ask if they can tolong, but they don't want to? Will they fine u more for attempt to bribe?

hmm.....

my Golden Rule

'Sini Ada Rm15, u mau u ambik, u tak mau, u kasih saman, itu saja, u pikir sendiri'

my golden rule,

"i do wrong, u saman, u mau bagi saman, cepat sikit, kalo tak mau saman ,i mau jalan, masa tak tunggu orang"

Wah, i wonder what would be the reaction of the government if someone put a spy cam and purposely get caught by police and caught the police on video showing he accepts bribe and posts it on the local newspaper.

forget bout it
i wonder what the reaction if they see the posts here
