As I have said the authoritarian manner that they go about their business is well documented on that TV program.
No different from the UK these days. I'd even stretch to say the UK is getting worse and is certainly a lot worse than your yardstick of Viet Nam, where I found the officials in the North to be arrogant wankers, in the South, although stiff, they were friendly enough. |
Disagree but obviously have no understanding of you experences and interactions, and thats a very broad brush stroke 'general behaviour and attitude'. As initally stated have had numerous dealings professionaly and find their approach far from this, and far less so than the local constabulary, bear this in mind also most of those that the public come into dealing with are base level officers dealing with masses of people in short time, and the roles protrayed on show are but one function performed, and if you belive reflective of day-to-day activity you may as well put those James Bond novels in the Non-fiction section also. I've heard it can take up to 3 months of filming for one 30min show.
Perhaps maybe its a case of a world on heightend alert. I was ticked off by brother forgetting to check 1ltr of scotch into checked baggage which was subsequently conviscated in Phuket, and I don't see things that different here. Least your not greeted with automatic weapons at the gate!
