    What about reporting police abuse? I am a fellow Europoor and I feel that here if you reported a patrol it’d get taken quite seriously (or it would become a political scandal if it didn’t).

      Police violence charges are usually dropped due to “lack of public interest” (which can be applied to pretty much any crime at the discretion of the responsible prosecutor) and/or the police officers you allege to have abused you will sue you for defamation. Usually it’s both.

      So another police office will decide whether to believe you or their fellow police officer?
