Indonesia's Sharia Police

While the Traffic cops here focus on speeding or those without car insurance, in Indonesia the cops seem more concerned with implementing a form of Sharia which means girls need to ensure they are fully clothed.

Apparently if a girl wears tight jeans she can expect a ticket and a ticking off. My concern is with all this emphasis on how a sister dresses whose keeping an eye on speeding drivers which one would think should also be a priority.

  1. What a wonderful way of justifying the act of policemen checking out women "for their decency". Shouldn't they NOT be looking at women at all? Those poor officers(!) what an awful job they have, pulling over indecent women and takig their details.
