Dear Police Commissioner, I have just driven through Biet Bridge border post, via Masvingo to Harare and back via Bulawayo to Biet Bridge. During my trip I had the honour of meeting our Hon Minister of Tourism and his gracious wife. Please understand that you have any number of police officers who are criminals. It is their mission to prey on motorists, particularly those with foreign number plates. I was stopped on at least five occasions. On each occasion I was accused on fatuous, trumped up transgressions, threatened with incarceration and impoundment of my car, pending Court appearance. For instance you have a round faced individual, very brown in complexion, driving a grey sedan (looked like a Corolla) operating in Masvingo. I was even accosted at Bon Marche on 2nd Street Extension, by 2 individuals, one in uniform and one in plain clothes. These are not police offices. They are criminals. Their purpose is to extract bribes out of human beings on false charges. This is robbery in which the power of the State is being used to victimize human beings instead of protecting them. It was the same when I visited in 2012. So you have a pathological problem. It does not require rocket science to work out what damage this is doing to our country. It should be easy enough to trap these criminals in sting operations. Wishing you and our compatriots all the very best. Judge Chris N Greenland.
