What to do when police stop you?

If he is in uniform:
Take note of his name and ID number on his uniform.

If he is in plainclothes:
Politely ask, “Can you show me your Police Authority Card?” Then, take note of his name and ID number on his uniform.

If the card is in:
Red colour : He is a suspended police officer. He has no authority to stop you or do anything
to you. You have all the rights to walk away.
Blue colour : Rank of inspector and above
Yellow colour : Below the rank of inspector
White colour : Police reserve
