Instagram post 2190494137220327954_7063153563 There's a nexus between the Tourist Police and Scammers/Touts at tourist destinations in India. They're literally friends. This Tourist Police Officer in Jaipur was sitting there eating peanuts when he saw me and decided to introduce me to touts from my video! The Tourist Police take money from the touts and allow them to operate and annoy tourists - this is why nothing ever changes. Lucky I had Sgt. Tony there to watch my back #india #indiapolice #touristpolice #jaipur #rajasthan
