Can I be arrested on the road side for outstanding fines?
The first thing to do is follow the instructions of the police officer/s harassing you, so be co-operative. If you resist an arresting officer requests it will probably only insight him to become more aggressive. You need to follow what they say, and attempt to stay as low to the ground as possible.
Once you have the opportunity, write down the officer’s name, badge name and number, and car registration number (if applicable). If you have been physically assaulted go to your local doctor as soon possible and have him record in detail the bodily injury you sustained. Take photographs of your injuries to keep as evidence.
If there were any witnesses to the assault take down their complete contact details to ensure that they can testify in your case.
If you have suffered an injury or any damages as a result of police brutality, a claim for damages can be instituted against the police officer/ his department.
Police brutality can also be used as a means to get your criminal case withdrawn if you have been criminally charged, alternatively it may act as a mitigating tool for sentencing in case of a conviction.
