bushes and buses

our police will soon be traveling undercover in buses to monitor reckless bus drivers. the move was decided quickly because it does not take much effort - all they need to do is shed their uniforms and the "h" in bushes (where they are positioned now) and jump on buses.

bukit aman is now said to be working out the finer points of the project.
* should these undercover cops carry guns? a debate is raging. some feel they should carry guns, like their counterparts directing traffic at trafic lights around the city. others, who feel that even traffics cops should lose their guns are scoffed? so how do we shoot those who beat red lights then?
* how should they behave on the bus? should they act normal, or their usual arrogant selves? if they have to act normal, they may have to be sent for a week-long kursus to remind them of how they were before they donned their uniform.
* should they wear their jangan rasuah badges? if they dont, how will people know what to do?
* what are they going to do through the journey? read?
* most errand buses ply the north south expressway, which takes a minimum of three hours one way. will other areas be neglected?
* how do the cops get publicity for the move? since they undercover, how do take pictures of the move for our local dailies?
* if they do manage to apprehend an errant driver, how do they publicise it? how do we position a journalist at the point of speeding? do we take an undercover reporter on board as well?
so many other things come to mind, but there are better things to think of at this point of time. so i wish them luck in another useless endeavour.
