Don’t you just hate it when The Man makes you wear a motorcycle helmet? Actually, we’re just fine with that at CMG, but not everybody feels that way. In some countries, even The Man himself has a problem with it.
For example, look at the city of Bacolod in the Philippines. Apparently, the cops there don’t like wearing their mandated helmets when they’re riding motorcycles. It’s become so much of a problem that a police bigwig is taking action. He’s asking members of the public who spot a cop riding around helmetless (on-duty or off, apparently) to snap a photo or take a video of the miscreant, so they can be charged. Sounds like it’ time for some Photoshop fun …
