i had a friend's friend who bought some cigarettes from those illegal sellers.he removed a packet and put them into a container and placed them in his pocket.
he was stopped by "ICA" who demanded the cigarette. after smelling it, he told him that this is illegal cigarette and wanted to go to his house to check. A "policeman" came along and when asked, was told the "ICA" could do that.
he took them home and found a carton of illegal cigarette. he was fine $2000 and had to pay immediately. he went to atm and withdrew the money to pay up.
We felt that he was con as is it legal to demand payment by "ICA" immediately. Anyway we did not know if reciept was given.
Kena conned. They are tapping to your guilty conscience because you have done something "illegal" so you will just pay to get away with it...

huah ! ... like this lagi big scandal ! ....
your friend should at least write anonymously to the police ..... i find it very disturbing that there are people going around impostering police officers in uniform ... or real police officers supplementing their income through such a scam ...

all fines come with receipts..
got receipt or not?
and the police fella, got gun or not?
btw.. ICA people do not enforce contraband inland.. they are border security.. and inland, their jurisdiction involves illegal immigrants, overstayers, harbourers and employers of immigration offenders...
heck! even at the checkpoints, if there is a stash of cigarettes, or anything other than illegal immigrants, they will refer them to the correct authority, like the Police, Singapore Customs, AVA, HSA, MDA, LTA or SCDF.. jurisdiction again is immigration and registration affairs..

The karang kabok fella ganna conned liao lah.

Its actually quite a perfect scheme.
You buy a box of illegal ciggies, goes home and put ciggies in your container.
Come out only, ganna stop by customs officer
and zhun zhun a police officer walk by and 'authorise' the ICA to go search buyer's home...
They take the ciggies....sell again to another fella.

Definitely conned.....I must say that the conman is really smart.
If he's lucky, the victim falls for the con, and pays up on the spot.
If he's unlucky, and the prospective victim asks for identification, he can just make a run for it.
It's very unlikely that the victim would make a police report in either case.....
I just can't imagine the victim going to the police station and saying: 'Officer, just now got some fake ICA officer and policeman who conned me out of $2000 because I bought contraband cigarettes!'

But drinking doesnt solves the probs.
Though it might provide temp relief.
