Police scam
I was near East Gate Mall today when I saw people being pulled over. Didn't thing anything of it as they always check licenses. My nephew was in the car with me, then the cop says you didn't stop at the stop street. Now I always follow road rules and definitely dont drive through stop streets. I can see two cars ahead of me getting fines and one left as I got pulled over. To be honest I actually laughed and said I did stop - because I actually did. In asked what proof do you have? My eyes she tells me then proceeds to give me a R500 fine. Now if it was only me perhaps but they were fining so many cars. I actually could see the stop street in my review mirror and watched a car stop and then they pulled it over, it took out my phone to film it and they saw and let the car go without checking car license or anything.
So my question is this: what can I do? I was thinking of going to court, I refuse to pay a fine for something I didn't do. Whilst in was there not one car did not stop at that stop street so how can 4 cars be stopped and fined in the space of minutes?
