How To Tackle The Police for a small crime

Don't worry - You have not done a serious crime. By serious crime I mean is the one which falls under section 300 and above (listed in the end). You have only been caught by a cop for breaking the signal, caught with a small ball of Hash or little weed - less than a gram, abusing a man who pissed you or any other small time crime. Here are the ways you can escape; To the point

1. Bribe - No big deal in doing another crime. See below where you belong and if you fall in RED - Just do it.

Be confident when you bribe. This does not mean that you bribe him by disrespecting him. Offer him an amount depending on your crime. For instance, Rs. 200 for breaking the signal, 1000+ for drugs and alcohol.

2. Be respectful - Talk politely and to the point. Explain him in very few lines that you are not a bad guy. Let him know you are a respectful citizen. In case of drugs, tell him you do it for leisure and you do it seldom. 

3. Do not lie - Until it's obvious. You cannot tell him you are not drunk if you are. Let him know you drank but you are sober and not harmful to anyone around. Messed around with someone? let him know why you did it.

4. Do not panic - Be clear in what you say. If you get scared he might exploit you more.

5. Avoid being friendly - Here is most of us make mistake. He is there for Job and not friendship. Don't give too much personal information about yourself. Your name and Profession is enough. Anything else only if asked.

6. Communicate in the local language - Yes, this works. Very nicely.

7. Do not show off your contacts - You have not done a serious crime. No need to involve anyone else. You did it, try tackling it yourself. This should be your last option. You are not related to Mr. Modi.

8. Lastly nothing will work if there are too many cops around you, specially higher posted officials. If you can escape by paying the actual fine and not getting into court stuff - Do it.

Understand that they are also Human beings. It's just they have to do their duty. Be nice to them, otherwise they can even screw your life.
