Law?

A few weeks ago I was going to Makati from Gil Puyat via cab. We then had to take a U-turn slot that already beside Roxas Boulevard which the traffic didn't help us get there faster but before the U-turn slot assigned to PUV there were 2 U-turn slots closed and a U-turn slot for private vehicles. On the side for the U-turn slot for private vehicles is a police officer with a motorbike when a taxi took the private U-turn slot. I was thinking to myself, that driver is going to get a ticket, so the police officer mounted his bike then went the opposite direction. Some police force we have here. It's just frustrating to see that justice isn't being served in this country and to add to that the bureaucracy that one has to go through. How can we aspire to be law abiding citizens if those who break them don't get punished?

It depends on the circumstances, maybe the police knew that he won't be able to catch the driver so it will be a waste of time catching the taxi.

Did i not mention that it was traffic?

It was traffic so I think that the police would've caught up with him

it's frustrating that the right laws are not enforced and all the wrongs and abuses of power are so rampant.

well, as what i remember my speecom professor told our class that canada is corrupt only by 2-4% while the philippines is 84%! what the! so it is possible that corruption is really everywhere in the philippines.. we all know since we are little kids that the philippines is corrupt. we all know that the corruption in the philippines happened since way back then.
