Question posted in the General Law category relating to Gauteng
Good day,
below is what happened to my friend last night... I want to make sure it get handled correctly. The police officer is threatening to open a fraud case against him because his license was not displayed on his bike.
there is also now 2 policemen on front of his house?? What do he do...
please assist.
Had an altercation with a police officer on my way to my last client yesterday.
Long story short - he was in an unmarked car with his blue lights on, he was on the left side of his lane so I thought he made way for me to pass. I did.
At the next traffic circle I slowed down & he overtook me in the middle of the circle, I showed him the middle finger (something I never do ?????????), he proceeded to stop dead if from of me nearly causing me to hit him.
Said he was going to arrest me, took my bike registration papers & my details, said he’d be coming to my house today to arrest me. ????
