night checks in chennai are inconvenient

Chennai city police is putting the night commuters in the city at utmost trouble. Police checkposts are there almost every signal in the main roads. One has to get through nearly 4 checkposts in the mount road at night times especially on saturdays. Usually the cops stop only the two wheelers and verify the vehicle papers and license of the person. But now they are stopping even cars. Chennaites can appreciate the police work at night. They are trying to keep the city as safe as possible. But the police should not create inconvenience for those who commute at late night after their night shifts by having four to seven checkposts in the same stretch.

Sometimes you need to wait for really 10 to 15 minutes to get your papers verified. And it is very hard for people who are travelling home in their two wheelers after their night shifts,if they have to stop at each and every checkposts to get their papers verified. Sometimes the city policemen are partial. 

I remember one incident when the cops seized nearly 5 to 7 vehicles for drunken driving and they let a man go who was drunk,because he was in PRESS. Most of the policewomen who are posted at night checkposts hardly know to verify the papers of the commuters. They just let them to go. One of my friend was let to go by a policewoman,he was not having his insurance papers and the policewoman was so ignorant about the paper verifications,

One thing can be appreciated. Cops are refusing to accept bribes. They have become very strict and they start writing chargesheet without any further questions if a person is found violating the traffic rules. So no bargaining business.

If the cops can make the night time checking more convenient for the people who have to travel at night time from one corner of the city to another,it would be the best .
