Legal ‘expert’ evades enraged crowd in capital, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

A man who claimed to understand the law appeared to have no understanding of common decency, when he refused to pay for damages after rear-ending another car in Phnom Penh on Monday.

The careless “academic” hit another car from behind, before fleeing the scene and locking his gates, all while a crowd gathered outside demanding justice.

The ensconced escapee claimed he was a legal expert and was not required to compensate his victim, prompting the exasperated man to seek police intervention.
