Can't get rid of the f***ing POLICE!

Pakistan 40% dangerous?!, wtf man! I don’t understand what’s going on with Escort protocol. I’m out of Balochistan and still with Police escort and trying hard to get rid of them but they are well connected and won’t let go. It kind of ruins the whole experience for me but the cherry on top is the unexpected BOMB SQUAD searching my hotel…this is insane! Come on Pakistan, for real? And who is paying for that?

From my understanding (but I've just watched KZbinrs visit), is that the government does not control the whole country. Big areas are controlled by clans, who might find some way to make money off you (or swap you against a friend of them in prison).

Guys try to understand those area is not very much safe so thats why they want to make sure you clear this area safely thats all

[@jurigagarin7829]

The policemen get paid from the government for the escorts, thats why they don’t leave you alone. Try the southwest border crossings when you return via Pakistan, maybe it’s easier. Avoid Baluchistan.

[@Ole-Endurance]

Correct - police everywhere, even worse if you want to do camping they will not let you go. Maximum while daytime - latest at late afternoon they will catch you again.

[@MarcTravels]

I left Balochistan already and still have to deal with this

[@Ole-Endurance]

@@MarcTravels it all over the country - in some areas they let you drive alone at least at day time. Even if you escape at the next checkpoint they get you again. I am following several german van lifer - all the same problems. Great sceneries , stunning mountains, great people but anoying police for no real reason.Good intention but absolutely no go for travelers.

Don't go to Pakistan.. Come to Sri Lanka you can travel freely

We have a Zero motorcycle dealer here in Dublin Ireland. So I am considering buying one. Just on the off chance someone from Zero might read this, the only reason I am even considering an electric motorcycle is because I see how reliable and durable your bike is.. I do think that Zero could and should be doing a lot more for you. You are putting Zero on the map the same way Charlie and Ewan put BMW on the map with their long way series. Come on Zero give potential customers a chance to get to know you... I'd say keep your head down and get out of Pakistan as quickly as you can.

A whole new world, for sure. It’s hard to say if the police are there to protect you, or to direct and insulate you. But, considering my Pakistani friends and my exposure to their culture, I feel this is more an overabundance of desire to keep you safe. Unfortunately, it still stifles your efforts to roam the country and enjoy it as you’d like. I hope that improves for you all! Ride safe. Ride smart. Have fun!

I am wondering, who's paying for the escort. Then again, there seems to be tons of police personnel so they may actually volunteer to have something to do.

[@MarcTravels]

I guess the government pays

[@salmansadozai5500]

Government of Pakistan bares the cost of fuel and manpower from taxes collected from the masses. So basically a Pakistani citizen earning 100$ a month has to pay money so the western people can enjoy their "vacation" or "safely" travel through the country.

Ich lebe seit 6 Jahren in Deutschland und es war für mich ein Schock, genauso wie für Sie in Pakistan. Ich komme aus Rumänien und als ich hier ankam, habe ich gesehen, dass es einfacher ist, aufzuschreiben, was erlaubt ist, als was nicht! In Deutschland darf man nichts und deshalb ist man überrascht, was man dort sieht. Aber was man dort sieht, nennt man „Freiheit“, auch wenn die Leute immer noch seltsame Dinge tun. Viel Glück. L.G. Robert.

[@MarcTravels]

Was meinst du mit Freiheit? Polizei 24/7 ist Horror

[@Motoreger]

@@MarcTravels Die Polizei ist wie überall korrupt und hält dich an, weil du Ausländer bist und auf etwas Geld hofft, falls etwas mit deinem Motorrad oder deinen Papieren nicht stimmt. Schauen Sie stattdessen auf die Menschen um Sie herum! Sie sind problemlos und müssen nicht tausend Regeln befolgen!

Well in many countries, some places are not so secure. In Pakistan, the police try to be extra cautious not to let anything bad happen. Its state resources that get spend by escorting foreigners like this so you should not complain this much.

I don't really understand why you are so pissed off about the police escort? Don't you think the Pakistani police has more information regarding safety and foreigners travelling in their country than you, a random traveller who gets his information from the internet? Do you think they spend all that money on things such as manpower and fuel in order to ensure you guys a safe passage through Pakistan for nothing? Or are you such a Pakistan expert that you know for sure nothing will happen to you, and they are just wasting their time and enjoy pestering you guys? I hope you never become the target of a kidnapping, but if I were you, I'd show more understanding of their behaviour. Anyway, safe travels and hopefully you will make it through Pakistan without any serious incidents.

Hi Marc, think about the title of your video and comments and the impact on how foreign motorcyclists will be received in the future? The police are required to escort you as the Pakistani government have had to deal with the kidnapping and murder of foreign tourists in the area you are passing through. The embassy staff of mainly European countries have had to endanger their own lives in an often futile search for their nationals. I hope you edit it as your click bait title may have a negative impact on those of our community who follow you. Cheers mate
