SPVM “should make arrest reports public“
The public security commission is recommending that the SPVM make arrest reports public, one of 25 suggestions contained in a new report by the commission. It’s also recommending against racial profiling (I don’t usually go “duh” but it’s difficult to avoid thinking it sometimes), but also that officers caught doing that should be disciplined. Other suggestions include limits on how information collected by police is used, and that the public should be better informed about their rights under arrest, both of which sound like good ideas.

The police need clear guidelines and what they can and can’t do with a mobile phone. And we need to press the to make these guidelines public and require that they inform the public about them. Anyone know if they have a set script like the British “Right to Silence” or the American “Miranda Rights”?
(Never been arrested… and don’t plan on it, either.)
