Mr. A, a man in his 60s, enters the district with two police officers.
After drinking at the pub, I took a taxi called by the pub owner, but I lost my wallet and cell phone.
When he couldn't pay for the taxi, the driver brought A to the district office.
Mr. A did not answer the question about personal information properly, and after a while, the overpower will begin.
When A tried to handcuff him, A resisted, and three police officers rushed in and put A on the floor to subdue him.
In the process, A bit the leg of the police officer who crushed him, and soon after, the police officer hits A's occipital twice.
Even after handcuffing, the police continued to subdue it.
The police explained to A's family, who came to the district office a little later, that A had committed a disturbance and carried out legitimate official duties.
However, A's family, who checked the CCTV, claimed that it was an excessive suppression, saying that there was no disturbance or threatening police officers.
[Mr. A's family: There was no disturbance, he used honorifics to the police officer and explained with a smile, but why did he have to arrest him so forcefully?].]
In addition to CCTV, the police said there was a body camera containing the situation at the time, stressing that it was a legitimate suppression.
Police body cameras released afterwards,
After arriving at the
precinct, they enter the precinct after getting on and off with the police on how to pay for the taxi fare.
A situation where Mr. A, who is drunk, cannot answer his personal information properly.
Then, when the police mistakenly informed the free ride as a free ride, A asks about it.
[○○District Police Officer - Mr. A: It's because it's going to be radio-taking right now. You got on without the ability to pay for a taxi." "Why do you call me a radio show?]
Three minutes after entering the district, the police decided to arrest the current criminal.
[○○District police officer: You don't identify yourself, you may run away, you have the right to appoint a lawyer and keep silent]
A's family, who submitted the related video as evidence, sued three district police officers for "exclusive assault," claiming that they abused their duties.
In response, the police charged A with obstruction of justice and injury, saying that they only arrested him according to the procedure because he refused the identification process.
[Chuncheon Police Station ○○ District Police Officer: It will be decided at the trial later. What they're talking about is that I can't even sleep properly right now.]
The incident began because he was drunk and could not pay 7,300 won for a taxi immediately.
It has spread to obstruction of public affairs and graft assault cases, and through future trials, it has been well determined to be wrong.
