HOW THE POLICE FORCE CAN KILL YOU LEGALLY IF YOU REBEL FOR ANY PURPOSES
Imagine tomorrow in Mauritius, due to poor working conditions, governmental oppression, taxation or conscription or due to poor food supply, you (or some people) decide to voice out, out of grievance. You go outside, shout against the injustices. The authority decides that you (or some people) are a nuisance and you are creating civil disorder.
They can shoot you whenever they wish to. And all that legally. Proof? Here is part of the Constitution of Mauritius:
A
person shall not be regarded as having been deprived of his life in
contravention of this section, if he dies as the result of the use, to
such extent and in such circumstances as are permitted by law, of such
force as is reasonably justifiable –
Actually they can go even further. If a police officer shoots as you are just walking by [maybe his colleague teased him with a story about you and his wife] he can invent some reason to justify it and he will be given the benefit of the doubt.
ReplyDeleteNow if someone happens to record that with a mobile phone- or whatever and thinks of using that as evidence against that policeman there's a bad surprise for him. Under the Prevention of Terrorism Act it is illegal to take pictures or capture on film police officers doing their 'duty' or put another way possessing proof against the police is a terrorist act.
President Cassam Uteem refused to sign that law and resigned. His successor Angidi Chettiar did the same.
This is very bad. I thought we can film the police just as in America.
Deletehehehe...we can use high tech devices eg pen-cam...some cops r not bright enough to know the trick... :P
DeleteIf cops would be bright, they would not be cops at all! :P
