WOW, things sure have changed since I visited Penang in '67!![]()
Well, that was 45 years ago...I'll never forget an absolutely fantastic three hour seafood feast in an isolated mansion on a small inlet. I've never had soooo much delectable food, cold beer, warm service and dazzling scenery; all for $7.50 including a very generous gratuity!![]()
I truly enjoyed the country, people and multi-cultures. It's one of the few places I'd love to revisit if welcomed!
Hope you have no further issues. And thanx for da ol' memories!![]()
Here's a good read:
Government Property Seizures out of Control
Although it's not really extortion so much as it is armed robbery.
Some interesting stats to ponder can be found here:

The local pd ran over and killed a guy on a bicycle here last year. The cop was speeding. He did not have his flashers or siren on and was not headed to a call. When it got to court the maslaughter charge was reduced to reckless driving. He got a $250 fine. A man who commited no crime is DEAD.
Love that justice system. It rocks if you are a cop.
It is... and Lelystad,Netherland? Is it safe to vape outdoors?
Yeah. Jacking someone at gunpoint isn't armed robbery. Keep telling yourself that.That's fascinating. But police don't make the laws, they just enforce them. That's neither extortion nor armed robbery.
And I'm sure the ice cream truck driver would have got a $250 fine as well. I totally believe that. The fact that you are making excuses for that murderer speaks volumes to me.A touching story. I suppose this tale is somehow intended to convey the message that cops are evil. So if an ice cream truck accidentally runs over a pedestrian, all ice cream truck drivers are also evil? I really don't see how a traffic accident is relevant though. And not every accident results in a manslaughter charge, whether it is a cop driving or not.
It would have made more sense if you told us a story about a crooked cop taking a bribe, or something of that nature. To which I would have replied that crooked cops should be arrested and prosecuted. I was thinking the poster I addressed my question to might have some such reason for his/her statement. Your rant, on the other hand, is way out in left field.

The nazi's were just following orders too, don't ya know.
Yeah, here in the USA I've had cops just walk up and ask about it and they think it's awesome, I even switch a new drip tip on and let one of the cops try it, he asked me where he can get one lol. I guess the US isn't as oppressive as people here think. I'm sorry you lost your equipment.
Man that sucks! I can't believe there banned in certain parts of the world. That is crazy, are cigarette's banned to in the same places e cigs are banned?
Here is my story I posted to the V4L forums earlier this month. I was pulled over and handcuffed for vaping. Click the link to see the full story.
Has anyone ever been pulled over by the Police because they were vaping?
Its politics in many of those countries especially in Asia, the tobacco companies there make a metric .... tone of money as almost everyone smokes... a lot. The tobacco companies lobby the govt. to get laws like this passed to help protect there sales.
I'll be in Baltimore this Tuesday.. will be vaping inside in the office/hotel no outdoor for me. Thank you for the info
