Arresting them isn't even halfway there. Now please stop withdrawing charges for pals, and actually prosecute the bad seeds with at least a suggestion of enthusiasm. But sure, it is a start. Pity the worst crooks are at the very top, and will never come close to being busted.

These days, it's hard to trust the police when they stop your anywhere. The policing department should change the uniform and put in place strict control measures for making and distributing the uniform.
Some corrupt police officers sold our country out of greed, taking tjotjo for ID books and selling drivers' licences.Look at the amount of traffic accidents and the type of driving at Places like Rustenburg, N4, and the surrounding towns.

Start by making sure they have matric exemption with A's in English and Maths.
Then make sure they get AA in the common sense and emotional strength questionaire.
They should be fit and in good shape.
100% for their medical and criminal check.
Have some knowledge of psychology and law.
THEN
Reward them significantly in their pay checks & we won't have the above happening.
In first world countries they pay them as follows,per annum
low scale Constable R305,000
Sergeant R470,000
Inspector R600,000
No wonder they don't take tjotjo
