Traffic cop fired over license cash demand
A TRAFFIC police officer in southwest China has been dismissed for demanding 200 yuan (US$32) to return a driver’s license.

Dong confiscated the driving license of a Tibetan driver in April after his vehicle was involved in a minor accident.
The driver compensated 4,000 yuan (US$640) to the owner of the car on the scene, but Dong kept the license as he suspected it was forged, according to the police
Dong asked the driver for 200 yuan and on receiving it returned the license on June 5.
