After he was driven, he and his motorbike into the police station, Alphonse T. would have repeatedly begged the police to allow him to come in and come back the next day with his identity document which he had not kept on him, because it was out of date. He would also have let them know that he is in pain. And that he should go home to pick up his medicine. But the police did not want to hear it with one ear because, without a check the next day to certify that the motorcycle he was riding belongs to him, there was no question of releasing.
