Last week, I travelled to a southwest state for a project. On my way to the hotel I met a police checkpoint. The officer said he would have asked me for my receipt but my 'calibre' is beyond that. So instead I should give him 500 naira! I just laughed it off with him. My question to lawyers (and other learned folks) in the house is: - is it legal for police to demand my laptop's receipt even without any report or suspicion of theft? - If such scenario arises what's the right step to take from a legal perspective. To my street guys: - what's the streetwise solution to this. Personally, I find it untoward. However, police are a people one has to be careful with and that's why I'm seeking advise. TIA. |

psucc: Lol. Don't get me wrong. He didn't accuse me of being a yahoo boy. He was trying to say he could accuse me of possessing a laptop that I had no proof of ownership for. Therefore, he was saying: "I could have called you a thief that you stole this laptop, but just give me five hundred naira and go." I laughed his offer off and he laughed along. I don't why but I think he wasn't just in the mood to frustrate me. Even if he was, I was bad market because the project is a government project so he'll only land himself in trouble. I guess he perceived this. Police know how to identify potential "bad market". |
