Here is the IT angle - isn't it time their website
www.kenyapolice.go.ke gave the Citizens the correct
position regarding Police Procedures for Civil/Criminal
offence? I mean I never knew a traffic offence could earn
you 1-night accomodation with General Ali's (the Police
Commissioner) guests. Further more, when are those so
called Tamper-proof Driving Licences going to hit the
market?

Hi John,

Thanks for sharing (in your v. pleasant style) your experience. Actually I think you are letting us off a bit easily by only suggesting procedures be on the Police website. I would go a bit further.

Every Mobile Police Unit and/or Traffic stop have a functional laptop with wireless access to various databases:
- IDs / Passports/ Work Permits / Visa
- Driving License
- Car Registration
- Criminal Records Database

That way by simply running a couple of simple queries they would immediately know whether you are worthy of being offered free accomodation.

Regards,

Mblayo
