Thread: White woman expat yells at Bali police officer in video

An Australian expat in Bali has gone head to head with local police after being stopped for riding her scooter without a helmet.
In videos of the dispute, which quickly gained attention online, the police officer can be seen standing in front of the scooter while the woman argues and waves her arms in protest.
“We have rules,” the police officer says in English.
According to a translation, the woman fires back in Indonesian that she has lived there for 23 years.


She goes on to tell another officer who approaches that she is getting a new helmet because her helmet was stolen.
Her scooter is eventually pulled to the side of the road and despite being surrounded by five officials, the woman does not back down.
She continues to argue with an officer before the video cuts off.


Police confirmed that the woman was Australian and was fined.
Under Indonesian law, driving a motorcycle without a helmet carries a fine of 250,000 Indonesian Rupiah, which is about $26.
Hundreds of local Twitter users slammed the woman’s behaviour, labelling her an entitled “bule” – an Indonesian word used for white foreigners. Many claimed she should be deported.
“It doesn’t matter if you’ve been here 5 mins, let alone 23 years – if you’re getting on a motorbike, wear a helmet,” one man wrote.
“If you go to another country have decency to respect them,” said someone else.
“yt (white) people always think they’re above the law when it comes to Asian countries. It’s disgusting really,” added a third.
“The reason why I hate bules in Indonesia,” claimed a fourth.
Bali Police told local English news site Coconuts Bali that the incident unfolded on Thursday in North Kuta, Badung.


The viral video comes as Bali prepares tocrack down on misbehaving tourists.
Bali Tourism Board chairman Ida Bagus Agung Partha Adnyana is on the brink of launching a public campaign that will see billboards installed where customs are flouted the most – such as the more popular locations of Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, Canggu, Ubud, Sanur, Nusa Dua, and Uluwatu.
Mr Adnyana said they’re currently in the “socialisation” phase of a new campaign which will aim to build awareness among visitors and educate tourists on how to behave in cultural settings.

“The point is that tourists respect Balinese cultural customs by dressing well and neatly, following in an orderly manner, carrying out traffic activities and not doing things that are outside the provisions,” he told The Bali Sun.
The proposal has been tabled and officials are now awaiting public feedback.
It will see at least 10 large billboards installed with instructions and advice in foreign languages, including English.
Luhut Pandjaitan, a senior minister who is considered extremely influential in Indonesia, said last week he spoke with Bali Governor Wayan Koster about misbehaving tourists.
“We do not need naughty tourists in Bali,” he said, according to Coconuts Bali, adding the government reserves the right to send them home.

Doesn't sound like she's spent much time in Australia.

Very rare for local police to stop anyone. No tea money in it for them.
I haven’t watched the clip, but I can imagine how bad it was, just based on experience.
Early on in Covid, local police were stopping car drivers not wearing face masks and having them do press ups as punishment. Yes, really.

Ugly bitch, obviously needs to be slipped a good meaty length to calm her down.

Creepy old sex pest makes it about sex, again.

Everything is about sex. Its the spice of life.

Bali's the only place some of these Aussie birds can get a shag, poor old wayan or made have to put up with these cashed up old slappers who recently got a pretty good deal on the divorce settlement from Stan. Who probably lost a chunk of change but is pretty chuffed with the result and currently in Bangkok doing the same thing.

It looks like because of this incident and many others by tourists, Bali plans to ban tourists from using motorbikes.

"You [should] not roam about the island using motorbikes, without wearing shirts or clothes, no helmet, and even without a licence," Governor I Wayan Koster said.


Under the proposals tourists would use cars provided by travel agents instead.


The plan has been divisive as tourism continues to recover from Covid losses.


More than 171 foreign nationals have violated traffic orders from late February to early March, according to local police records. Some tourists also use fake licence plates.


"If you are a tourist, then act like a tourist," said the governor.

Once they think it through they’ll backtrack and the status quo will return.

It’s SE Asia, they can’t enforce anything properly except religion.

An Australian woman has reportedly been deported from Bali after being filmed arguing with police over not wearing a motorcycle helmet.

Martia Daniell was on her scooter on a busy road in a popular spot in North Kuta when she was blocked by a officer because she wasn’t wearing a helmet.

The penalty for not wearing a helmet is a $26 dollar fine.

The footage of Daniell went viral because of the fiery exchange she had with the police officer.
