The taxi driver had no idea that the woman sitting in his car was not just an ordinary passenger, but a high-ranking police captain of the city. Sarah was wearing a simple red dress and looked like a normal civilian.

Captain Sarah wondered to herself:
“Could what this driver is saying be true? Is the sergeant in this precinct really doing such terrible things?”

After a short drive, she saw Sergeant Tom Davis standing by the roadside with his colleagues, conducting vehicle inspections. When the taxi reached them, Sergeant Tom signaled the taxi to stop.

The sergeant angrily said:

—Hey, taxi driver, get out! Do you think you own the road driving that fast? Aren’t you afraid of the law? Come on, pay a €500 fine right now!

As he said this, he pulled out his ticket book.

The driver, Mike, was frightened and said:

—Officer, I didn’t break any law. Why are you giving me a fine? Please don’t do this. I haven’t done anything wrong, and I don’t have that much money right now. Where would I even get €500?

Sergeant Tom became even angrier.

—Don’t argue with me! If you don’t have euros, do you drive a taxi for free? Show me your license and the taxi registration. Did you steal this taxi?

The driver immediately took out all his documents and showed them. Everything was complete and in order. But the sergeant still said:

—Your papers are fine, but you still have to pay the fine. Give me €500 now, or at least €300. Otherwise, I will confiscate your taxi right now.
