—Ma’am, there are some police officers stationed along this road. The sergeant in this area gives fines without any reason and extorts euros from taxi drivers even when they haven’t done anything wrong. And if someone refuses or argues with him, he beats them. I don’t know what fate awaits me today. I just hope I don’t run into him today, otherwise he’ll take my money again even though I haven’t done anything wrong.
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.
