A policeman who wished to withdraw some cash at an ATM in Publika mall used his badge to cut in line, but he was shocked when he found out that the person he cut-off was another policeman with a higher rank.
Being impatient, the policeman presented his badge to the long line of people waiting at the ATM and told everybody that he has the right to use the machine first as he is a policeman.
His abuse of power was met with shock when he found out that he was talking to a higher ranked official whom he thought was just a regular citizen. The higher ranked official simply introduced himself and asked for his Authority Card.
Instead of doing so, the policeman raised his voice which sparked a heated argument. He then decided to leave the scene.
Moments after, the higher ranked official found the policeman in front of a restaurant and asked him again to present his Authority Card. This time, the policeman insisted that he knew “big people” and is not interested in any more arguments with him, again running away from the scene.
The suspect was later then arrested by auxiliary policemen who were notified by the higher ranked official.
Further investigations revealed that the policeman is a 31-year old constable who has been in service since 2012. Police authorities are conducting an internal investigation of the incident.
