| Suggestion 1: | I would like to be clearly advised on what was the issue? What laws were broken? What are my rights on this matter? I woud like the violation ticket and be given a time frame to pay the ticket. Not cash there and then. In fact cash should not be allowed so all transactions can be noted. |
| 2. For the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) / Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI): | |
| Suggestion 1: | Bangalore is horrible for corruption – police, customs and govement officials. The ACB should mount a major campaign. |
| Suggestion 2: | Please have a web site where every citizen can report the name of the bribe taking official. That way these fellows who take bribes know that they will be exposed on the Internet. That will stop them immediately. |
| 3. For other citizens: | |
| Suggestion 1: | Ask what the violation was in writing? Educate your self of you rights when a traffic cop stops you. When is he doing his duty, when is he harrassing? |
