fear or respect?

i respect uniformed ppl for their will to serve the country but i guess theres certain ppl tt i rather more of fear than respect....the boys in white....for fear of them would give me a ticket for any stupid 'offence'.. its so obvious tt they are out to get someone to meet their quota i sometimes...the way they look at you & your ride for any so called 'illegal-modifications'....HE actually u-turned......just to take a closer look......and kept looking at his side mirrors.....i mean, i was driving like 60-65km/h on a 70km/h road, so in my mind was like wats the problem? isnt ur job is to look for traffic offenders? not innocent road user who happens to be in ur way and happens to driving/riding a hot or popular vehicle? stereo-typing is another real bad phenomenon(haha wat a word to use) in their job scope....i mean not all sports vehicle users are racers, thieves(stolen parts and vehicles on the rise) or likes to modify their vehicle extensively.....i mean i once saw an apek riding a harley(i dont think he stole the accessories) and a nyonya driving driving a capable LEXUS at a super slow speed that even my brothers bicycle can beat her....i mean my ride was more like a transport and it even has an ugly box behind to put my school books......but why he look until like that? stereotype lor........DAMN.....if i known i wouldve bought myself a less popular bike......id do just tt when i start work....my 'weapon' of choice have always been exclusive but somehow, the trend catches on and it always happen to be something i and ppl like me likes.....for example the vespa....(but im glad now theres less trendist riding tt cool machine...its just nauseating to see them).....anyways back to the issue, i guess in sg theres too much restrictions for the wrong reasons... but i guess the bodies involved are realising better....evidence are the many uprooted skateparks, the ability to use sports exhaust and halogens(provided u got them inspected and approved at LTA), the availability of walls to spray paint legally...
the situation was even worse when i was really living my youth and it was so sad they realised late......if not i guess some of my frens would now be pro skaters i saw their potential and me, i wouldve enjoyed my youth better...but we were kept being chased away by the boys in blue.... i mean we have to skate creatively looking for spots bcos there were only like ONE skatepark in sg and we were school boys with limited cash.....so the neighbourhood was the cheapest playground....but we were chased ard by the boys cos the ppl in the neighbourhood complained cos they thought we are criminals....hahaha.....but now its better la.....haiya....this is life lor.... sometimes u damn suay one....while other ppl are commiting the real offence elsewhere(i actually saw a big sports bike speeding and demonic speed minutes before i was booked), u get booked...just like a couple of years ago, i think 7years ago when i was riding my old px150 and i got booked cos my number plate happens to be of the unapproved one.....sigh....again stereotype matte-black vespas are racing vespas which can go at speed which normal vespas cant.....so he checked for illegal modifications BUT MY BIKE WAS STOCK and so the number plate will do.....uurgggh!
