Do you trust policemen?

To say honestly, I won't. But they act neutrally when it comes to civil cases. The act bias only in criminal cases, where they should be more neutral. They do take the complaint if the accused is a general public. On the contrary, if the accused happens to be their affiliate (?), they don't take the complaint. Later, we become the accused in those situations. (Yes. The book a complaint against us, filed by the affiliate) But it is the common mentality of the people reflecting in their duties, I think. I mean, most people themselves have become corrupt. How many of us follow the rules, when we are on the road? Rather, we would expect a policeman to be corrupt, so that we can escape the rules just bribing him a small amount. This is one just example. There are many people ready to offer bribes for various needs, say for school admission, for better treatment in hospitals, for getting employed and so on. When a person gets employment by giving bribe, can you expect him to be honest?

Hi Krupesh, I have had a couple of dealings with the police. Once when my wallet was stolen and again when someone hit my car from behind and damaged it. I found them very helpful and co operative. They were very respectful and took a lot of pains keeping constantly in touch with me and i really have changed my opinion about them. Earlier i was given a very bad impression of the police in general by others..

oh yes i don't trust policemen. cause i think that most policemen are there for money. they don't do their job. they will just want to be bribed most of the time. though there are still honest policemen a few of them. but there are too few to notice them. most of them will just turn out to be interested in gaining more money dishonestly specially here in my country being a policemen means you will be given so little money or salaries.

I used to trust the police, but no longer do. I was receiving hate mail a while back and turned to the police, they took the complaint but after a while "decided" it was me doing it, because they were told I have a mental illness. They even interviewed me, had my mum completely stressed out. My mum even stayed with me once when I received a letter, she was there, and she would have seen me write it if it was me. A cousin of mine is a police officer (not allowed to work on the case due to conflict of interest) and he later said that they had said that after they spoke to me the letters stopped, but my mum told him, that wasn't the case...I was too scared to carry on reporting it, fearing I'd be prosecuted, he understood and believed us, but I no longer respect the police or trust them. I feel they couldn't be bothered dealing with someone who has a mental illness.

It is a sad world we live in when the police cannot be trusted 100% Even though the few I know personally are decent and mostly upright people, even in 'civilised' countries there is still so much corruption amoungst the very people who are supposed to be protecting us. Even so, where I live I am genrally happy to trust the police around here, but only because I know so many of them personally. In other areas of this country I do not know that I would be so willing to trust them as easily.

I think to some extent you are correct. However it depends on your real interaction with them. I agree they take bribe. But not all of them are alike. They are still the law keepers of his society. Imagine the crime rate if there were no police force in place. I think we should not put them all under one umbrella. There are still honest police men around. I I think we will soon see a revolution where we can finally have an honest police force. (Some times it good to fantasize)

No I don't trust them, I lost a son on a count of one. I hate them all! Some of them are nice though.

Not all policemen are bad. I'm sure there are some that are bad but the MAJORITY of them ARE NOT. There are bad people in all professions. It's just that policemen tend to get the majority of the focus when they have gone bad.

aww... reality hurts... I do not really trust policemen... Whenever I see them I know they mean trouble.. Sometimes, I have an impression that they are like "LEGAL- day light robbers" like what you've mentioned in number 3.. I hope something could be done about it someday...

I don't know much about should I or not trust those policemen. But all I knew is that some policemen really taking advantage of their badges. They can cross the traffic light randomly just turn on the siren. They can even speed if they want to. Who ever gotta monitor their speed right? They never get fine, because they are the only one give people tickets. I felt so shame on those policemen.

no.. never.. they have power..and men with power, are not so good in most cases..

police department is a job bro,, what are they looking for at police department? ofcourse a salary...police department is the highest level of coruption in my country...so, never trust them without money...

oh,i can't agree with you. i won't trust a policeman. there are a lot of examples that make me can't trust a policeman.they speak to you with unpolite. i hope i will not have a relationship with policeman.

I dont always trust em as they dont always help you. So many people have been asking police to protect them from people to harm them and police always said no and then they end up dying. However I think the best way to safe yourself is just hire a bodyguard than call the police as they wont do noting to help you really because my ps2 was jacked also known as stolen and the police didnt do anything about it.

Not all the times.Many of them are bad.
