Issue a statement on Police Brutality

Pirate Vik Wed 21 Apr 2021 9:57AMPublicSeen by 59

In light of the guilty verdict in the case of the murder of George Flloyd, we should issue a statement and perhaps specifically call out Police Brutality as an area that requires greater governance in India. We need Law and Order, but the enforces of Law and Order must not be above the law themselves.

Special action for Police Brutality is not required at least in India.

Existing laws and its stricter implementation would suffice. Dr. Ambedkar was visionary, he knew how Britishers used to 'force' the law. However he was clever to use the same law against Britishers for the benefit of our society.

I think I can create a proposal that defines stricter implementation

@Jigarkamble give at least 7 days for people to vote.

The proposal is for greater governance, @Jigarkamble your poll seems to support my proposal as you say "stricter implementation may suffice" but I don't agree that you can rule out further legislation if stricter implementation does not in the end work.

@Jigarkamble what would you suggest as stricter implementation?

It seems a general statement on Police Brutality doesn't interest anyone, i'll try to refine around stricter implementation

Add to Manifesto: We will improve the effectiveness of Law Enforcement through greater oversight

proposal by Pirate Vik Closed Mon 31 May 2021 3:00PM

Acts of violence committed by law enforcement harm the population as well as the image of the very same law enforcement institutions. To improve the effectiveness of Law Enforcement and improve trust within communities we will:

  1. Create a diverse panel of Indian Citizens to oversee the working of both national and state human rights commissions.

  2. Create a mechanism for the recording and publishing of statistics related to crimes committed by law enforcement

  3. Establish Citizen Volunteer auditing of Police Stations, Police Cells and Jails similar to https://icva.org.uk/purpose/
