Yes, recording the police is a good way to keep down police brutality.  As a matter of fact, we record our own officers becasue we make it mandatory that our officers video record themselves when making contact with most people.  Then, supervisors like me review the tapes and look for the officers mistakes and if we find questionable contacts, then they are repremanded for such actions.  Police brutality is rare and most officers don't put up with fellow officers who are even a little out of hand.  Things have changed over the years.  I've been a cop for 22 years and I can remember when the police actually received more respect because we were more heavy handed back then. Today, most people know that we are not like that anymore and they push us to the limit.  However, there are some officers that are burtal, and those officers give the rest of us a bad name.

Stress is a major factor, and the politics involved with police departments today would be another. Sometimes they are d***** if they do and d***** if they don't. If they don't arrest the criminals, then they aren't doing their jobs, and if they do arrest the criminals then they are in fear of persecution from the public, especially in major cities. Police officers, and firemen have the most stress of any occupation, other than the military. Check out the pay scale for police officers today. Some situations are justified, granted. But alot of what the television news broad casts show are sometimes one-sided. Notice how you don't hear both sides?

Your right, there not all the same. But the ones that have been total jerks, and have taken advantage of their position-have given Police Officers a bad name. The ones who beat up people while they are arresting someone, the ones who get off using their tazers more than once on someone, the ones who treat people inhuman while you are jailed-I could go on and on. I have talked to people, and heard the most ugliest stories-It's a CONTROL factor for some humans using their job to hide behind! BUT, God Bless the good Officers!  They put their best foot forward, and their life may be in constant danger protecting us. They are Angels sent from Heaven!

Oh my God. Policemen are incredibly hot. They have the hot navy blue uniform, the cuffs, the utility belt like Batman who is also really hot.\n\nAside from the fantasies, women love feeling safe which is something a policeman can provide.

I wish I knew just what you are referring to as I may be able to give you a better answer. But police officers, Minsters, school teachers, laywers and groups of people have bad apples. One bad apple can make the rest look bad. But believe me, Officers get caught. I know from experience where I have arrested my own or fired them or took what ever action needed to be taken. True: Some get away. Just the same as others. But some get caught.

When I was MUCH younger my boyfriend and I were messing in a parked car when all the sudden a bright light shined in the window. It was a police officer. He was nice enough to turn his back while we dressed. All the boyfriend could say is------but we didn't go all the way to the cop. I guess he was concerned because he was 25 and I was a minor. Then the cop asked for the registration for the car so I opened the glove box to get it and out fell an opened bottle of whiskey. The boyfriend got a ticket for parking in the park after hours and we both got a lecture/warning. The next day my father asked me how my evening was and wasn't his friend officer ***** a nice guy.    Handled with much difficulty then but think it's funny now. Nothing lasts forever.

Many police are covered under umbrella immunity provisions.\n\nThe police officer needed a malicious reason to arrest you - given that you did not break the law.  A good attorney will file an illegal arrest lawsuit (or maybe a class action lawsuit if this rogue officer has mistreated other people in the same way).

First of all let me clear up the use of force there 2 bits of legislation you can use first of all\n\nyou can use common law IE if you believe there is an imminent threat of violence against you or another you can use "reason able" force. Also you can use section 3 criminal law act which is about the detention of persons. As long as the force used by you is seen to be reasonable you will have no problem in court( that is not to say that you will not be arrested by it would br unlikly to get a charge of assault)\n\nPreviously the law limiting powers of to police and private persons was PACE 1984. The Serious Organized Crime and Police Act 2005(SOCPA) section 110 has ammended many sections of PACE including the section dealing with arrest by private individuals.\n\nThe concept of "arrestable offences" has been abolished. Instead "other persons" can arrest without warrant only indictable offences although police can arrest for all offences.\n\nINDICTABLE OFFENCES\n\nare those which can be tried in a crown court or higher court by a jury. "Arrestable Offences" were those offences that could result in a sentance of 5 years or more ie theft, assault, robbery, burglary, and much criminal damage.\n\nAs a private individual you have to KNOW that such an offence has taken place. Police can supect.\n\nI commend you for your actions but take it easy out there. When I arrest someone a have the back up of many years of dealing with dangerous situations as well as support from other police officers\n\nwell done though

I respect the police at most of the places, ones where they have done or atleat have tried to do good work. \nBut mostly I have heard (ya , just heard) negative stories about how police man have used their position for undue favours. I would certainyl hate such a class. \n\nBut then, I think we need them, we depend on them. They mostly do a good job, or atleast their presence is a comfort to the common man.

The most well known is the Miranda VS Arizona. Miranda was read his rights and requested a Lawyer to be present when questioned. Since he was considered to be in "Custodial Interrogation" the police got a confession from him after he requested a lawyer and the court of appeals suppressed his confession.

UK. London.  Traffic Patrol Officers were known as the Gestapo.   There was no love lost between the two branches.  That was ten years ago..........\n\nIt is supposed to be a fact that a civilians heart beat raises by twenty percent when a traffic patrol car is seen in the rear mirror.  A non traffic officers heartbeat rises fifty percent at the same sight..........

Firefighters, just a job although it's obviously dangerous, like other dangerous ones. As long as they feel fine and find the meaning in what they're doing so it doesn't matter.

In Arizona back in the 1960's a man was arrested named "Miranda."  He was "encouraged" to confess to his crimes and later the US Supreme Court passed down the "Miranda" ruling which required police officers to inform arrested individuals of their rights;\n\nThe right to remain silent,\nThe fact that anything they say or do can be used against them,\nThe right to an attorney,\nAnd the right to an attorney if they can't afford one\n\nSadly the punishment for failure of law enforcement to engage in this practice is that guilty people are returned to society unpunished....

I don't believe it is rare. I was almost shot by a policeman with his .45 caliber gun. I am just a mild mannered, middle aged computer programmer who was coding a program all night at a software company. I left the building at 3:00AM and accidentally triggered the alarm that wouldn't reset after attempting to reset it for 10 minutes. So, I left the building carrying my black name and address booklet in my hand. Suddenly, a huge, towering man approached me from behind ordering me to drop what was in my hands and put my hands behind my back. There was no police car present, no motor cycle present, and he did not identify himself. I thought he was a night watchman. I explained that I was an employee and had accidentally tripped the alarm. He screamed that I should not look at him and should drop what was in my hands and put my hands behind my back. It was dark out, and I couldn't see him well. He shined a bright light on me and looked through some kind of viewer which I now know was a gun. Eventually, after he demonstrated severe and frightening anger, I obeyed him and was handcuffed. I figured he was just some angry security guard. Moments later police cars arrived, and I was relieved that some professionals showed up. Those officers were very nice to me. But, the big guy who had initially stopped me, then revealed to me his gun and how close he was to having shot me. He repeated that several times and also stated he thought my name and address book might be a weapon. And, I didn't find out until the next day that he actually was a real police officer who worked foot patrol. I thought he was a guard by his wearing of a blue shirt instead of the black police uniform the other police wore. Had he only identified himself as a police officer at the initial encounter, I would have obeyed immediately.
