    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.
