policeman who is "fahri müfettiş" ( honorary traffic inspector (!)) started

only victim so now we have a WhatsApp group with 150 members and
many of us formed a protest convoy to condemn this 'honorary inspector',

went to court and found out who he is - a retired policeman. The day
he wrote seven tickets against me I wasn't even in Esenler and I had
