Police 'excesses'

I was appalled to read Sabrina's letter. Being stopped and told that two persons of the opposite gender cannot be together after 10:00pm is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. The cops in this country have crossed all the limits of indecent behaviour. I sometimes even do not see the point of criticising them. They simply do not pay any heed. Harassing people and inventing new laws for such a small amount of money, is simply despicable.

I feel ashamed that the police force in this country is so intolerant. The government must set up a committee to look into such incidents.
