I know many of us on here have experienced police harassment and/or brutality. I'm wondering if anyone has ever filed a civilian complaints with Internal Affairs? and if so how was your experience?
I know those files stay with the cop regardless of the outcome of the investigation. I've seen on court TV shows, cops sueing people for filing a bogus complaint against them but in most our cases there's no need to lie cause the police are in the wrong when dealing with us. in the TV cases the cops won cause they had a recording of the traffic stop conversation thus proving the defendant lied. the TV cases were all traffic stops and they are probably less likely to record their conversations with homeless but keep in mind they have the ability to record any conversation they have with you.
I've also heard that these files are taken into consideration every time the cops goes up for a raise or a promotion. if anyone out there can confirm this rumor it would be helpful.
