Second Lieutenant Melita Hugo Javier Sepulveda will appear in the Lives Police Magazine Police next month. Maybe never will. The incident last week left him exposed as undercover police officer in a march of ANEF also showed it to his superiors as incompetent. Forgot a backpack with his passport, identity cards and other objects of his police duties.
are those who will never Juan Muñoz Orellana, Ricardo Bravo Iturra Maximiliano Núñez Montecinos, the 2 nd station in Santiago. They, along with Jorge Rodrigo Rivas Fuenzalida Muñoz Molina and the Commissioner of Rocas de Santo Domingo, were expelled from the institution to participate in ATM robberies and stores between October 2009 and May 2010. Nor will Nelson Ormazábal and Andres Santibañez of the 19th Providence Police Station, also expelled for the same offense.
is reasonable to do so. These are crimes where the public never expected to find a mixed police, pretending to give warnings of bombs or logistical support and information to thieves.
The problem is that the signs of slippage in the institution put a profile that goes beyond the ethical issues and reach the general protocols of the institution. Because while the acts of corruption began to happen too often, police procedures also have returned to a Again, the target of strong criticism, because they graze, due to the disproportionate use of force, crimes under its institutional rules.
In May this year the Commissioner Aguirre was the subject of a complaint of sexual harassment by one of his students of Aquinas Institute, where he taught at the Forensic Expert Technical career. The suit did not prosper because the Court considered that according to Chilean law, this crime requires the existence of relations.
Gordon was the general himself who, following the criminal act referred to, talked about the need to "review the events, so check if there are responsibilities of command "and carelessness, negligence, or carelessness.
Trust and credibility
The editorial page of the Institutional Review of August brings a section titled "The press said," highlights the credibility of police on citizens.
is an indisputable fact that the Chilean uniformed police is one of the most prestigious in Latin America. However, achieving trust is a permanent game, and there are areas or issues where police exhibits significant shortcomings.
On 9 November 2009, Pascual Catrilaf Curiche Machi, the Dugunmachife, Patricio Catrilaf Curiche the Tayilfe Jesus Curiche, Miguel Curiche Lonko the Ngillatufe Curiche Moses, and the Yankees Curiche Curiqueo Damian Martin, Mapuche traditional authorities , linked to the religious exercise of ethnicity and all of the town of Nueva Imperial, were raided at their homes, arrested and taken to police headquarters in Nueva Imperial. Soon after there were up to the Machi Fidel Lautaro Nahuel Tranamil commune Padre las Casas and Lonko Diego Saldivia Manquilef of the commune of Freire, to intercede for them. Carabineros also stopped. It happened with beatings, injuries and destruction of the Mapuche religious material.
This would be common, but equally illegal and intolerable in the midst of what is happening in the area, if there were something repetitive in the New Imperial Station, located in the heart of the Mapuche conflict, and directed by Major Jorge Aguirre Hrepic.
This officer, well-known forensic expert in the area and it serves as such individuals to law firms and agencies of the square, has been involved in numerous similar events, to embody the tense relationship between community members and police there.
In your area competition died in August 2006 lonko Juan Collihuin Catril, 71 years as a result of a bullet fired by police at his home during a raid on his property without authorization of the competent authority according to the commoners.
Shortly thereafter was one of the policemen who allegedly shot by unidentified individuals while conducting a field inspection in the area.
Various social organizations and leaders indicate that the officer has too many years as commissioner of New Imperial, and that their activities have spawned a network of ties and commitments that are not good for transparency of the cases heard in justice in an area as contentious.
also point out, his department is always news for various reasons. On March 28, 2010 a detainee committed suicide in a cell by hanging himself with his shirt tied to one of the bars of the cell. He was arrested for being "asleep on an ATM inside a cubicle BancoEstado," according to the proper officer.
In May this year the Commissioner Aguirre was the subject of a complaint of sexual harassment by one of his students of Aquinas Institute, where he taught at the Forensic Expert Technical career. The suit did not prosper because the Court considered that according to Chilean law, this crime requires the existence of labor relations, and in this case concerns the relationship between a teacher and a student. But if research led to a summary of the institution, as the regional headquarters considered the facts alleged unethical institutions. Summary of the results so far nothing is known.
Police violence
infiltration of an undercover agent in the ANEF progress comes at a time of increasing criticism for excessive violence in the actions of police. According FLACSO, including 1990 and 2004 were entered in the 6083 Military Justice by police violence cases attributable to police, only in Regions IV, V, VI and Metropolitan.
Annual Report on Human Rights in Chile 2008 from the Universidad Diego Portales realize with concern the escalation of situations of abuse of public power. Argues that "in Chile, the general rule seems to be the demonstrations end with serious incidents and abuses by state agents, abuses are not punishment or redress from the authorities established."
The Last week Chancellor of the University of Chile, Víctor Pérez, suspended a scheduled meeting with the Director General of Police to act as a repudiation of the police during a demonstration at the School of Architecture. Students and academics were attacked violently while manifested within that campus.
The use of technologies of repression, tear gas, different chemicals, riot pellets, the effect on the health of citizens is not clear, is commonplace in our environment. If we add a brutal disposition or use of invasive procedures that do not guarantee objectivity and inspire confidence, as undercover agents in demonstrations-can quickly reach a critical point.
efficiency is known as a body police riot shock, but not as modern police. In particular the poorly controlled use of force, and its tendency to identify citizens manifesting as enemies.
Most of the above facts constituted the crime of unnecessary violence referred to in the Code of Military Justice and are in violation of the Core Principles established by the UN on the Use of Force and Firearms by officers responsible for enforcing the law
deficiencies are not now. Many of them are long haul and stay by the tendency of the civil authorities to provide training and professional autonomy to the police, which seem almost self-generated bodies.
At present, and by the importance of talking tough on law and order by the Ministry of Interior, would be useful to know whether police have refined their systems of internal inspection and if the controls on the actual civil exercised.
It depends on the violence and degrading treatment may be punished and there is, indeed, both command responsibility as a political responsibility when the excesses fall the illegality of what would otherwise be out of control.
