Thank you very much for stepping your legs down to help develop our motherland Ghana...infect Ghana is getting behind..recently I came home and how some of the police personals treat some of us is really bad..my last day at Accra before I flew back to Germany I was in a taxi with my white lady and we got stopped just 10m away from papaye in osu ""snabcheck"" and this policeman ask me to put my hands up and wanted to search me and you know what he did he wanted to put wee in my pocket so I resisted his command and he got provoked and at the end he slapped me and handcuffed me and we ended at at the police station...at the station I was asked to empty my pocket and I did and nothing was found,after an hour one SGT came and I begged him that I am flying tomorrow and please he should let me go but that Cpl who slapped me said no he will process me for court for insulting police...Hmm by then I told him how can I insult police whiles all my relatives are in the service..my father was inspector and my 2 brothers are still in the service whiles my uncle is in the service UNcle Ampeh BEnin...

Oh citizen , try and get caught by the police and allow yourself to be taken to court. Then you will change your mind and decide to be a non-citizen. The system is too chaotic. Even before you are charged to court, you report to the police everyday for about 3 days. For everyday you go, you have to wait at the police station sometimes for a whole day because the officer who arrested you is on road check duties and until he returns no one will attend to you, yet you have to report daily. sometimes he travels for funerals. When finally you go to court, you are not told what time your case will be called. You can go at 7 a.m. and your case will be called at 3 p.m. Sometimes the one handlingyour case does not even show up and the case gets postponed.

It is because of all this wahala that civilzed countries have instituted spot fines for minor road infractions. You are issued a ticket, you pay to the police or at the office or bank, whatever and carry on with your life without having to waste all your time. The earlier this law is implemented the better for all, including honest policemen who want to strictly enforce the law. The current situation breeds corrupt practices, because to avoid the delays, one is forced to pay "something" to the police and move on.

The sensible Thing to do is peoples empowerment-an implementation that teaches the motorist not to give any Money to the Police but must have an easiest paymentpoints in the Country where by the Money must goes to government accounts.
this Actions of the Ghana Police tells it all to those who want to implement the spot fines that -the Ghana Police cannot be trusted so they dare not continue to make that implementations.
besides ,that 500, 600 (5million, 6million) spot fines is the most wicked, economical untllegent, stupid for someone to come out of such huge Money and figure to be paid at a spot by common trafic offends.
even if you came out of 100 gh cedis it must be a court fine as the highset the motoist must pay for the offends.
I think that those lazy parliamentarians must differentiate between criminal offends and trafic offends .
The highest punishment to a trafic offender is to suspend him of driven for a period of 1-2 years by court order but not collecting such huge amount of Money from him/her. even in Suspension bylaws the offends must be catigoried -where in most cases -is drink and drive to cause a fatal accident. apart from this i dont see any offends that must attract a Spot fines of above 50GH cedis.
Ghana Standard board must start scrutinising the academias who Pop up on political Scene to hold public Offices because their intellegents of solving the Problems in the Country is very low as compare to a Primary lerner. most of them are certificate buyers or fake certificate and degree holders- that is why i think they have not able to get it right when it Comes to solutions

Ghana police are corrupt since when did this man realize that police exort bribe? He is aware long time and whatever proceeds from hey got from it he has a share from it. If today, he has noticed that what they are doing is not good and he wants to do something about it , so be it. In US no police will collect money from drivers instead they give out tickets for you to defend yourself in court if you are found guilty you pay a fine to the county . the money goes to the state or the county for development it doesn't go to any individual pockets like what happens in Ghana . It is a big shame to police institution ALMOST every personnel in Ghana is corrupt not even single out the police ministers they are part of the corrupt act. May the good Lord have mercy on them and help them change their bad attitudes. Unto the drivers too let them be law abiding people do the right thing at all times. In US every driver obeys the traffic laws failure to do that will end up you in troubles so as much as we reprimand the police , we should also talk against some attitudes of some drivers in Ghana sometimes they give the money to the police it is a bad attitudes

Hotline now if you are serious about going after your criminals in the police service.
Hotline now if you are serious about going after your criminals in the police service.
We live to see if this warning will become reality. Our police is too corrupt. They behave as if they work for free.
The policeman relies on extortion to survive
The Ghana Police cannot stop collecting money from citizens or sack its members doing so. It is in their blood to collect bribes; this is a joke.
This is like the devil deciding to punish all demons who do wicked things.
What a joke.
He has given his life to Christ. His demons are in trouble.
everyone in Ghana police take bribes and extort people for money
You don't have to tell us, just do it. Have you heard Barclay's bank, say they will sack cashiers who steal money?
The the Ghana police does does notshow 'one iota of regret' for what he does.Oh Nigga you gonna Nig.
Deflect and deny...a trait of the kipperatti. The policemen in Ghana are mentally unraveling.Now we just accept our lea ...

Why is the police boss cosmetising the act by calling it spot fines. He knows that what the police extort from motorists is not spot fines but bribes. He should say it plainly that officers caught extorting money (bribes).. ...

Yes that proves how serious he is.He is going to sack officers who extort money and not the normal every day bribes that he approves
Who will catch policeman for extortion when all of them are corrupt? We will live to see...
HAHAHAHAHA GHANA POLICE
All you have to do is get undercover officers from different regions in private cars and deliberately make wrong turns infront of them. You will catch a sackful of corrupt police officers..only if you are really seriuos in ta ...

Haha Patriot you are so smart! I like your strategy. Good one there and have a happy holiday
That strategy would not work. The Police always cover for their own. No Police Officer in Ghana would file criminal offence against another Police Office. They protect each other remember. There is a way I am working on but w ...

Hope the statement is not hot air.
YOU ARE NUMBER ONE BRIBE TAKER SO STOP AND YOUR JUNIOR OFFICERS WILL ALSO STOP.
Any special numbers to call in case of such ?
Please the officer's rank is DCOP not DSP as it is in the story
Let the police carry out work this morning on the Dawhenya road, near the Tema Refinery (behind the Kwame Nkrumah's Silo) i.e. near the Tema Timber Market. It is not a secret the way extort money from motorists.
"to wear police uniform na to collect money for road"
Yate abr3! If the IGP hi mself is extorting money, who dey go sack him?
The police have become addicted to bribe and under no circumstance will our shameless police stop taking money from innocent motorists. Let's have our peace.
How can Ghanaian Police stop bribe. Police is a disgrace job and i will advice all my family members not to join. Disgrace people.
If they are serious, let them employ mystery shoppers to out the officers that do this particularly at check points. At check point they operate a scheme so all the officers would be culpable
DSP AWuni,
