Disrespectful Traffic Officer Hare

My daughter was issued a fine of R2k for stopping on the pedestrian crossing in Pinelands by Officer Hare. She did not jump the red traffic light. There was no obstruction of traffic. ( Although this is what the ticket stated.) My daughter looks very young and this officer treated her like she was a child. (I think my daughter has her licence longer than he has his.) He imp**** she did not have a license. When she produced her license he asked her "WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO NOW?". He was extremely disrespectful towards her. We feel this was an abuse of his authority. His behavior was unacceptable. Does stopping on a pedestrian crossing warrant a R2k fine? Or is it because my daughter told him to do what he needs to do so she can get to the hospital where she works? He deliberately tried to delay her. Officer Hare is in desperate need of training on how to speak and address the public. After all, he is a public servant. My daughter wrote a formal letter to the manager of the Traffic department to inform him of the disrespectful and unprofessional way Officer Hare behaved. She got a call from the Traffic department to tell her the officer was not rude but they will call him in to chat to him. Why call him in they believe the officer was not rude. They could not tell my daughter why her fine was so high. I think Officer Hare victimised and bul**** her after she stood up for herself. She did not deny she committed an offence by stopping on the pedestrian crossing. But he was rude and she was not going to allow him to bully her. He gives every Traffic Officer out there a bad name. He should ask someone to explain "Batho Pele" to him. My daughter is also a public servant but she treats every person she meets with respect. Young or old.
