High Court Judge Frank Seepersad has encouraged citizens to continue to record questionable conduct by police officers whilst they are on duty.
Justice Seepersad made the call yesterday, as he upheld a wrongful arrest and malicious prosecution lawsuit brought by a T&T Regiment officer, who was charged with assaulting a police officer after he attempted to record him (the officer) with his cellphone during a traffic stop in 2020.
Seepersad said in the absence of legislation to hold errant police officers personally accountable for malicious prosecutions, the mandatory use of body cameras should be prioritised.
