Aksara Tanpa makna Pada 22.37 bali Traffic

Yesterday I was on my way from Kuta to Denpasar to buy some stuff for the construction of a swimming pool when I was stopped, close to Sanur, by some police officers along the side of the road. Once I stopped and the papers were checked I was prompted to come along because I was not wearing my seat-belt.

And yes, about six meters from the public road, half hidden behind a tree was the chief money sergeant, sitting behind a wooden box. He show me a paper saying that the fine for not wearing a seat-belt was 250,000 rupiah, but today was my lucky day .. because for only 100,000 I could buy off the penalty and prosecution. The money disappeared directly in the wooden box, and without receipt I could continue my way.
And of course only foreigners where stopped by the police, while in the short time dozens of Balinese pass the police check point without helmet.
They learned about hidden camera's....
