In fact, working as a patrol officer on streets prone to congestion such as stations is now a very popular job, and even some veteran police officers are vying for such opportunities. On the one hand, it is relatively easy. There is only a small area to patrol, and you can choose to walk, ride a horse, or ride a bicycle. It is much more comfortable than the kind of errand that takes half a day to patrol. When no one is watching, I can be lazy, find a place to sit for a while, drink afternoon tea, eat some pancakes or something.
On the other hand, it is related to the issue of income.
Sometimes some drivers exceed the limit by a few minutes, and they will face a penalty of dozens of yuan. You must know that in this imperial capital, the core of the empire, the wages of the working class have only just risen to just over forty yuan. A penalty of dozens of yuan for a few minutes may sound like an extremely terrifying and heavy punishment, but it is not. Rich people who can spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on a car don't care whether the ticket mailed to them by the regional police station says ten dollars or one hundred dollars.
Only car owners can afford such heavy fines, and these people are reminded not to park in these places for too long.
Of course, there are also a small group of people who may not be able to afford such a huge fine. They will choose to pay a "fine" of five or ten yuan on the spot as a reward for the patrolman letting them go. Most patrol officers would turn a blind eye.
The current salary is higher than the previous salary, but prices are also increasing rapidly. Being able to earn a little extra money will not have any impact. In fact, it is also a benefit for the patrol officers. Even the chief of the regional police and some people from the Ministry of Justice know that this kind of thing happens all the time, but they never say anything on their own initiative.
The police itself is a profession with heavy work and full of dangers. The welfare benefits are not really good because there are always some people looking at the police group. If the police are well treated, these people will clamor for a waste of taxpayers' money. Only by controlling the police's welfare within a range acceptable to these people will they be satisfied with the government's work and be able to sleep well at night. Fall asleep.
So..., it’s not easy for everyone.
The attorney stood by the car and did not immediately open the door and get in. He was waiting for the opportunity to appear. As one of the legal representatives hired by Dulin, his job is to solve all problems that can be solved through legal means for the employer. It is not unreasonable for some people to call lawyers legal gangsters. These people regard the law as their capital to play gangster, but they are still the best in this profession.
Once a patrol officer had a dispute with Dulin or the bill was too large, he would step forward to resolve the minor trouble.
However, he waited less than ten seconds before deciding to get in the car and leave because Du Lin had no need for it.
"Is this your car?" The patrol officer was a woman, wearing the uniform of the imperial police. She didn't have the beauty that people imagined with a hint of uniform, and she completely turned into a bloated aunt. Patrol police also have the power of "unannounced inspections". They can be said to be the frontline police and often encounter some difficult problems, so body armor and other items are already standard equipment. If you can see something "amazing" from a layer of pottery-shard body armor wrapped in a police uniform, it can only be said that you have too many associations.
The branch president here opened the car door directly, and Du Lin ignored the policeman and sat in. The female patrol officer frowned. Her reason told her that it was the best choice to leave now or act as if she hadn't seen anything happen, but her sense of responsibility told her that she should check whether these people had broken the law.
The agent walked over to the timer and looked at it. It was more than half an hour overdue. They came very early. It wasn't that they remembered the time wrong, but that the steam locomotives arrived earlier or later too many times. They didn't dare to let Du Lin wait for them here, so they came first.
The agent walked back to the car door and took out a ring of money from his pocket, which were all small-denomination five-dollar notes. He casually clicked ten of them and waved them in the direction of the policewoman. The money was spinning in the air. He sat in the passenger seat and told the driver to drive.
The driver directly pulled the mechanical lever to refill the power compartment with obsidian crystals. The catalyst was also filled in at the same time, and the car body immediately started to shake. He stepped on the pedal of the power compartment, and the car flew out close to the female patrolman's body, just a little bit likely to hit the female patrolman's body.
The female patrol officer looked at the car going away, then at the fifty yuan bill swaying slightly in the wind on the ground, and finally silently tore out a page from the notebook in her hand, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the sewer. When she bent down to pick up the fifty yuan from the ground, she felt humiliated, but she also understood that this was the world, and this was what she had to bear. The world is so unfair. In her eyes, a large amount of money is nothing in the eyes of others. She even dared to say that these people gave her the money directly not to save another two hundred yuan, but purely for the sake of saving more than two hundred yuan. Too lazy to go to the police station to pay the fine.
She put all the money in her pocket, and her face turned red when she straightened up. She didn't know whether it was because of the money or because she had been bending down for a long time. When she looked elsewhere, she suddenly noticed a driver sitting in a car across the road, grinning at her. After taking a look at the car, which cost no more than 4,000 yuan at most, she straightened her police hat and walked over, and said in an extremely pure imperial accent: "Sir, please show your car purchase certificate, car registration certificate, and current year's certificate." The car tax payment certificate and your personal identification certificate, I suspect that your car is involved in a smuggling case... "
"Is there still a ticket for parking in the Imperial Capital now?" Du Lin asked casually, and then the agent explained the parking rules again, and complained a few times because he also owned a car.
This reminded Dulin of a joke he discovered when he went to the west and learned about local laws and regulations. In addition to abiding by the basic laws of the empire, each state in the empire could choose to incorporate other laws into the state's legal system or not. The state's laws can also be expanded, deleted or modified through the state assembly, so the laws of each state are somewhat different.
When Dulin was looking through Western laws and regulations, he discovered a "Horse Shit Act." This bill was enacted more than thirty years ago. At that time, there were very few cars in the West and almost everyone rode a horse. Horses are alive, and living animals definitely need to eat to replenish their body's consumption, and naturally they also need to poop. At that time, the streets of western towns were full of the smell of horse excrement, and even cleaning it was not an easy task.
Because soon after the horse excrement falls on the ground, it may be stepped on by the hoof of another horse. In this continuous process, the horse excrement, horse urine and soil will eventually be mixed together. Even if all the horse excrement is eradicated, The ground will also appear a weird dark green color, and will still emit an unpleasant smell. It would be even better if it rained, as people seemed to be living in excrement. Therefore, the West has introduced a bill restricting the riding of horses on urban roads, commonly known as the "Horse Shit Act", which has the same effect as the parking rules in the imperial capital.
All cowboys riding into the city must pay a fifteen-cent horse shit cleaning fee, otherwise they will be arrested and detained for three days. From the first day of execution, it was destined that this would not be an easy task. But today, it seems that people have integrated this law into their blood. Everyone knows that when riding into the city, they have to pay a fifteen-cent fee to a policeman and ask for a certificate to prove that they have done it for themselves. Voucher to pay for open defecation.
With the continuous development of technology, people will soon realize that the items that may be punished are no longer as simple as parking a vehicle.
This time, Du Lin wanted to stay in the imperial capital for a while, so he chose to live in the Oak Bay villa area. There is a dedicated person in charge of cleaning the villa area. He only needs to sign an agreement and keep valuables, and the community can provide them. Housekeeping and ensuring safety. So even though I haven't returned to the Imperial Capital for a long time, the house in Oak Bay is still very clean and tidy.
After Dulin asked the two of them to leave in the car, he returned to the room and lay down directly on the bed, making some noises from the bones in his body. The journey from the west to the imperial capital was really a long one, and even buying a first-class ticket couldn't stop the long-distance fatigue from invading his body. After all, there is only such a big space in the car, and any big movements may affect others. There will always be some constraints caused by the inability to stretch the body. Well now, I can finally get some real sleep.
When he got up, it was already after eight o'clock in the evening. He called Kevin. The person who answered the phone was Kevin's girlfriend. His girlfriend told Dulin that Kevin had already dined at the Gloria Hotel. Du Lin put on a piece of clothing and got into the car. He thought he would drive by himself, but to his surprise, the driver did not leave with the agent and the others. Instead, he stayed and took a nap in the car.
Dulin knocked on the car window, threw another cigarette to him, and told him where he was going.
In about ten minutes, the car stopped outside Kailer Gate.
Kelemen was the first project invested by a federal businessman in the empire after the Great Patriotic War. At that time, this federal businessman could be said to have come to the imperial capital with a determination to die and gritted his teeth and bought the land. and built this hotel. Speculative behavior full of huge risks brought him crazy profits. Whether it was to meet political needs or ordinary people's needs, this hotel not only did not close down, but became one of the most famous and high-end consumer places in the imperial capital. one.
What this hotel brings to both countries is called...peace!
