u were sleeping yet the police accused u of smiling at the stranger ??Originally posted by meggz:hello people! Im new here>>
as you know maybe all of us have handphones now. some with extra features like games and GPRS and WAP and Radio and Camera.
Anyway here is what happened: A stranger was taking photos of me and my sister in the public train oblivious to us as we were both sleeping. We only knew when some kind passengers woke us up and told us that the man was taking our photos and smiling.(in averu bad and pesk way) Terrified the kind passenger urged us to file a complaint to the police. But the police quite sternly accused us (me and my sister) of smiling to the stranger and that it is our fault that the man took our photos. I was very upset about this. And told us that taking photos is allowed. and that was about it. He said that this country is a republic and not a democratic and this is not the US.
I am disappointed. Many things were said.
I want to ask wether if somone took your photos and you knew about it , what would you feel about it?
okay, i supposed u should lodge a complaint against the police somehow for his poor attitude, but the story ends there.Originally posted by meggz:hello people! Im new here>>

hhmm, i dont think so. I may get in much trouble.Originally posted by sgboy2004:write in to the press, make them ask the police to reply
dun worry..u wont get into any trouble if wat u say abt the cop is true..just write in to to the press..Originally posted by meggz:hhmm, i dont think so. I may get in much trouble.![]()
I think the police officer is unprofesional in handling the matter. You should write in to complain.Originally posted by meggz:the mrt station is in Bishan. actually I am not that upset about the picture taking he took 4 photos none of which is obsene or anything llike that .
I am upset the way the police handled us. you see im no singaporean here. and he said something like "you are a PR and he is a PR" now what is that supposed to mean??
I know it is not an offence but still, why wont the police give us some sympathy?? Just kindly tell us that it is not a crimw but it is not right. But i cant do anything about it.
BTW- he lied to my parents. saying the guy only took 2 photos while he took 4!!
write in to complain??? u think it would change anything???Originally posted by tspg:I think the police officer is unprofesional in handling the matter. You should write in to complain.
haha.. cos the pple there no hp camera to use yet mahOriginally posted by mayham321:here safe??? i think go to iraq better
did they like get stabbed in some gang fight or some other thing for which they were at least partly responsible?? i think the police, being human, will kinda do less about it if they feel that the person in trouble brought the trouble upon himself/herself.Originally posted by mayham321:write in to complain??? u think it would change anything???
i was faced with a reckless driver who almost knocked me down with his sports car then he tried to fight with me but i rode to the nearest NPP: the ass hole reckless driver not only did not apologize but scold all kinds of vulgarities & wantedd to fight with me at the NPP SO WHAT DID THE POLICE DO??????
N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!! he only said if u leave the NPP anything happen is your problem...
i think this bad attitude stated here is understated!!
this not the only inccident tat bad attitude ... i know of at least 2 friends who were STAB (bleeding & injured) but the police don;t even care to investigated who the criminals are ....
here safe??? i think go to iraq better
Go Iraq better. Got problem dun need to go police. Take out your AK and settle on the spot.Originally posted by sgboy2004:haha.. cos the pple there no hp camera to use yet mah
haha.. right on!Originally posted by tspg:Go Iraq better. Got problem dun need to go police. Take out your AK and settle on the spot.![]()
well...not all NSFs are like wat u say loh....SGT also got NSFs one...some regulars are very good but due to qualifications and some other stuff, they are stuck at corporal for quite some years...rank is not everything lah....u could have a 1 year old SC/SGT...or a 5 year old regular Corporal...stress once again dat rank is not the main concern, main concern is the officer's ability to handle complainants. if u are not satisfied with the officer handling your case, u can ask the 2nd officer for verification or ask to talk with the Team Leader....if TL also not big rank enuth, try the OO or CO, an ASP should be high rank enough liao bah...Originally posted by SilverPal:Some police officers are just NSF, they care nothing about the job. I know it does not give them the right to have poor attitudes... Perhaps you can ask for a higher ranking officer to handle your case or queries?
I usually accept a lowest rank of SGT to handle my case because I feel they can handle the public better. If I'm not satisfied, I might ask for the duty officer. They are more professional.
