What happens if a police officer misbehaves? Do they have the right to do so? Can you fight back legally? In this video, we break down your legal rights and the actions you should take if you ever face police misconduct.
Last year an incident took place where a person from Mumbai recorded the video of a police officer misbehaving in the police station. The cop got angry and filed an FIR against the person. When the issue went to the Supreme Court, the court clarified that since police officers are public servants – everyone has a right to record them. However, the same would only be allowed when they are misbehaving or doing something which is not in their power.
Further, in case police tries to take your phone or tells you to delete the video, the best step is to go live on social media, so an online record of the whole incident stays.
