Posts: 303FWIW, it could be a setup between a cop and the taxi driver. Was the taxi driver on the phone or was he texting? I knew people who were shaken down but did not realize what was happening. They were not pretending. They were just really dumb and did not read the situation.
I have been shaken down several times but luckily I was with a local those times. They would take care of it or would quietly tell me to get leave so they can take care of the situation.
A common practice in the US is to setup speed traps in order to finance a police department. I have been issued tickets because of my license plates. You can argue if you are willing to travel back.

Posts: 405Introduction money.
I got caught up in the philippines airport bullshit but after 5 days of bullshit I arrive in "wonderful" Jakarta. So I get in line for a bluebird and they have this ticket system that is 100% broken theres this guy in control of the taxis. And he is calling numbers in the range of 35-55 the ticket that I just got printed was ninety fucking three so an hour later I kind of pleaded with this guy to let me get in a taxi. So we get near the Mangga Dua mall and it is about 2 am at night and we get pulled over by indonesian police at a check point they set up. They asked for identification I had my taxi money out the first thing he asked was "Is that for me? I of course didn't reply and put it away I don't know about your guys's countries but bribing an officer in it self is a crime. So he says "are you in a hurry?" I say no you can check the bags and I have USB charging cables and he seems to be enamored with the cables. So he looks in my carry on finds nothing and now he want to inspect my main bag. So he checks my pockets and I'm on my way to the hotel so I had changed some money. He found the stack of cash and said "for me?" again. I then brought out 200,000 and held it up. To which is he said "500,000 for me and my friend introduction money. " after which he repeated "introduction money" I didn't reply with any objections, I fail to see how I could have been set up by the taxi driver because it was literally the best route to get to the hotel via google maps. The "officer" has a few words with the taxi driver and we were off. But how common is this bullshit my other 2 trips were incident free. I want to preface this with I assume this officer had a very deep drug problem as his eyes were bloodshot and he was extremely jittery, which also put me off in terms of reasoning with him. The police officer also said that they are out there because of the asia games.
I get to the hotel and it seems like delivery girls are always the ugliest of the bunch. You have to goto these shit holes and pick them yourself if you want to find a good looking girl. The ones that usually show up when they call it "delivery" if you have ever seen the movie spaceballs. The girls that show up are the spaceball stunt doubles of actual girls. Noses and faces all fucked up so of course it being 3 am I pick the less ugly one and get it done. 500,000 dmg for the delivery. Not the best start but only thing good about today is it only gets better from here.

Posts: 43We shall see indeed. But it was the current Jakarta governor, Anies Baswedan, that shut down Alexis. He campaigned on it. He also shut down Sense Karaoke at Mangga Dua Square and Exotic Disco on Mangga Besar.
The former governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama or Ahok, shut down Stadium and Millies.
