need your help po. i was apprehended last saturday on malugay street, by a yellow guy. just got off skyway, since i wasn't familiar with the area, soon after i made a past at buendia intersection, i came to a halt at a stoplight on malugay street (second intersection, near stoplight).

20 seconds later, this yellow guy came up to me and asked for my license. i asked him why... he said obstruction po. as far as i know, i wasn't obstructing anything, as i knew i stopped before a stoplight sign. then i looked at the cars behind me, i noticed they stopped at the first malugay intersection. since i was new to the area, i contested his apprehension and apologized for not being familiar within that area of makati. i added, i am new and didn't see any white lines to follow. but he insisted that he wanted to see my license, so i grabbed my purse and handed over the license to him.

the moment he got it, he walked away from where my car was, then wrote my name immediately on the ticket. i asked him nicely, why he was writing it so quickly, and if we can work it out, since it was just a first offense, and considering being new to the area, i really had no idea. i added, that's why i stopped at the red light sir, at this intersection. but he kept on insisiting, it was too late. and issued me the inevitable "white ticket" and shoved it down my throat that i insulted him daw and his uniform. i asked him, "in what way have i insulted you, sir?" he said, i didn't give him my license when he demanded it. ang babaw naman!!!

i told him i didn't even swear in front of you.... i had my 10 year old niece inside the car, and she could attest, i didn't swear or made any derogatory remark at the officer. in fact, i was on my way to church. ang pinaka mataray nga lang na sinabi ko "Grabe naman kayo sir"... but he still issued me a ticket and said it was too late for me to apologize!!! Power tripping naman!!!

i asked him to give my license back but he refused, then that's when i told him, "kinakaya kaya nyo lang ko kasi babae ako!" so i drove off. as i sped off i realized, the last time a friend got apprehended, the officer told him what his violation was, how much penalty, and where to get the license, before the officer issued him the ticket. that didn't happen except for the "obstruction po" statement from the officer.

hindi po ba protocol yun? pwede bang ireklamo? at ano inisulto ko sa kaniya? siguro gusto lang humingi ng lagay kaya tinatakot ako na sinulat na agad pangalan ko sa ticket! ???
