“If you have no badge, why are you asking me to do something?” one woman famously said in Marina Bay Sands back in May, triggering netizens like never before.
We all wondered if the woman‘s family and friends needed to show a badge before asking her to take a photo of them, and whether she had done a favour for anyone who wasn’t in the police force.
The Badge Lady of MBS, now a legend in the COVID-19 lawbreaking world, went viral in May for refusing to wear a mask despite being told to do so by a safe distancing officer, just because she didn’t have a “badge”.
She seemed one of a kind, but there’s apparently more than one of them.
Man Wants To See Certis Officers’ Badge After He Was Caught Smoking at Orchard
What would you do if you were caught smoking in a non-smoking zone? The only answer here is to accept your fine and move on with your life, but one man went a slightly different route.
A video of his argument with two Certis Cisco officers went viral recently after it was shared on the Facebook group Complaint Singapore on Saturday (21 Aug).
At the beginning of the video, the man behind the camera, presumably the alleged offender, asks one of the officers for their name, to which the officer replies, “Sir, let me finish my work first, then I’ll explain to you.”
The man then demands that the officers show their identity cards, as both officers had the cards turned towards them.
The officers seem reluctant to do this, adding that the alleged offender cannot record them on video.
The man then returns to the main topic at hand: “Nevermind, you show me your card. You never show me your pass how do I know who are you?” he said.
The female officer said she’d oblige, but only if the man stops recording.
Now, if the man had a legitimate concern about whether these two people were just going around town masquerading as officers, giving out fines just for kicks, he would have stopped the video and asked to see their badges, right?
But he continued recording, speaking to what sounds like another man off-camera.
Throughout the video, the pair asks to see the officers’ passes, and later, their “badge”.
Amusingly, when the man asks what he had done wrong and one of the officers points to a signage indicating that they were in a non-smoking zone, the man once again asks to see a badge.
Netizens’ Reaction
This is one of the few instances where netizens all agreed on who was wrong in the incident, saying the man should have just accepted the fine instead of arguing so aggressively.
And when everyone on the internet agrees that you’re an ass, you know you’ve screwed up big time.
