checkpoint

.

just in case guys, you come across a checkpoint… this is very informative.

It’s the season again of checkpoints. Set up to fight criminality and maintain peace and order, the nature of power of the police kind requires vigilance on the part of the citizens to make sure that the stated objectives are met, our rights observed and our safety given paramount importance.

Three years back, we started a campaign to let people know their rights when flagged at checkpoints. With elections a breath away and the recent mega-crimes, it is time we review the do’s and don’ts.

The first thing to remember is to recognize whether checkpoints are legitimate or not. Checkpoints as a rule must be well-lighted, properly identified and manned by uniformed personnel. These people must have their name tags showing. If it’s a colorum one, it’s downright banditry and calls for an entirely different approach like that of being held up. In doubt, always have your mobile phone ready with an emergency number to call. It may help to actually talk to someone to relay the situation.

Slowing down and dimming headlights is standard. There is no point to try to outrun a checkpoint, guilty or not. Opening windows and turning the cabin lights on can help if flagged down. However, you need to lock all your doors and talk to the police officers on one side of the vehicle – the driver’s. Urban stories have it of contraband planted when the driver specially a solo one is distracted.

It has become a practice to ask for the opening of the dashboard drawer. By law, you are not required to do so because only a visual search is allowed. This means that the police officer can only look at and inside the vehicle but is not authorized to peer into closed compartments or bags and similar containers unless there is reason to be suspicious. A flashlight may be used.

Also by practice, motorists don’t mind opening the drawer since there is nothing to hide. Besides, who wants to argue with armed personnel at the dead of the night? The issue here is if we don’t take a stand, the encroachment on our rights will slowly start to erode much like failing to prop up loose soil that quickly turns into a killer landslide.

Then the police officer asks you to pop the trunk. Do you comply again? You are not required by law and can refuse politely. Horror stories abound of dangerous drugs being discovered.

You are asked to step out of your vehicle. You can stay put and ask if there is a violation or if there is anything wrong. Stay in your vehicle at all reasonable times. You may want to keep your driver’s license and car registration handy and within reach. It is also a good time to check if they are current and not expired.

Routine questions may be asked which requires routine answers. Consider it a friendly banter but no need to try too hard or be too specific.

Perhaps the better rules are to avoid going home alone late and tipsy or drunk or be in violation of the law. Then you really are asking for it at the checkpoints. It is different if you are accessing public facilities like the airport or the seaport, the standards for compliance are higher in these cases. Same situation with entry to malls or hotels although it is definitely over reacting and over acting to use underside mirrors to check for bombs attached underneath to your vehicle. At least when you catch a plane or ship, you expect to go through security measures.

With this first article of the year, we call on those in the law profession or involved in legal work, industry and business groups, NGO’s and governance institutions to make the rounds to ensure that checkpoints are not abused. Peace and order is specially important in these times and it starts with us.

A Tribute To All Women

… let’s all be reminded of how amazing we are 🙂

One Flaw In Women

By the time the Lord made woman,
He was into his sixth day of working overtime.
An angel appeared and said,
‘Why are you spending so much time on this one?’
And the Lord answered, ‘Have you seen my spec sheet on her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers,
have a lap that can hold four children at one time,
have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart
-and she will do everything with only two hands.’

The angel was astounded at the requirements.
‘Only two hands!? No way!
And that’s just on the standard model?
That’s too much work for one day.
Wait until tomorrow to finish.’

‘But I won’t,’ the Lord protested.
‘I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart.
She already heals herself when she is sick and can work 18 hour days.’

The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
‘But you have made her so soft, Lord.’

‘She is soft,’ the Lord agreed, ‘but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.’

‘Will she be able to think?’, asked the angel.

The Lord replied,
‘Not only will she be able to think,
she will be able to reason and negotiate.’

The angel then noticed something,
and reaching out, touched the woman’s cheek.
‘Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.’

‘That’s not a leak,’ the Lord corrected,
‘that’s a ! tear!’ ‘What’s the tear for?’ the angel asked.

The Lord said, ‘The tear is her way of expressing her joy,
her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
her loneliness, her grief and her pride.’ The angel was impressed.
‘You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing.’

And she is!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don’t take ‘no’ for an answer when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a ! woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.
