I also have been robbed four years ago, on my way from Duesseldorf, Roermond into Belgium, direction Antwerpen. Soon after the boarder, a blue Renault followed me, and pushed me almost, while I was passing a car. So I went faster, to let that blue Renault pass by me, and than they stopped me with a red light, and I had to follow them to the near by parking place. There they said, they were police, I had to leave my hand on the stearing wheel, checking my papers, and telling me that I had goon 20 kmh too fast, that would cost me 350 Euros. Because they did not take a credit card or a cheque, they said, that I had to pay, or leave the car there, and pay 1000 Euros next week, it would be less expensive to pay right away. They would offer a special service and drive me to the next ATM. So I locked my car there at that parking spot, and to get into the back of that car, and they drove first into the wrong direction of that Autobahn, and wheeled that to that next exit, and drove like mad into the next village, where they let me out of that car, and get the cash. There were tourists right there, but I did not hesitate to ask them what to do, because I wanted my car and my papers back. So got back into the car, wehre they first counted the cash, and drove me back to my car, going very fast again. I asked them, why the police would be driving that fast, and they said, they had lots of work to do, and business was going good for the goverment. I always thought that this event was strange and funny at the same time, but you hear a lot of wild stuff about the Belgian police enforcement, but after reading this, I think that I was also robbed.
