Quick Test: Kya Aap Jante Hain?
Ever been stopped by a cop and had no idea what they’re allowed to do… and what they’re bluffing about?
Let’s clear this up. These are actual legal limits on police power — and most citizens don’t even know they exist.
Bookmark this. These secrets can save you from harassment, illegal fines, and even wrongful arrest.
🚔 1. Police Can’t Arrest You Without a Copy of FIR (For Non-Cognizable Offenses)
If it’s a non-cognizable offence (e.g., slapping, verbal threats, defamation), police CANNOT arrest you directly.
✅ They must get a magistrate’s permission first
✅ You must receive a copy of the FIR before any action
💡 Ask: “Is it a cognizable or non-cognizable offence?”
👮♂️ 2. No Officer Can Take Your Phone Without a Warrant
Unless you’re part of an active investigation, police:
❌ Cannot snatch your phone
❌ Cannot check WhatsApp, gallery, messages
❌ Cannot force biometric unlock
✅ Only allowed if warrant is issued or you’re formally arrested
🧾 3. You’re Not Bound to Visit the Station Without a Written Summon
If a cop says:
“Chalo thana, varna case lagega…”
✅ Politely ask for written summon or notice under Section 41A CrPC
✅ You can refuse to go unless arrested or summoned
🚘 4. Traffic Police Can’t Confiscate Vehicle Without Receipt + Proper Section
If they tow or take your keys: ✅ They must issue a written challan with correct IPC/MV section
✅ They cannot drive your vehicle without your consent
✅ Always record video calmly
🧕 5. Female Officers MUST Be Present for Any Action Involving Women
✅ No male cop can:
Search a woman
Arrest a woman between 6PM to 6AM
Interrogate without another woman present
💡 Cite Section 46(4) CrPC and ask for a female officer if denied.
🔇 6. You Can Stay Silent – It’s Your Right
✅ You can say:
“I am exercising my right to remain silent until I consult legal counsel.”
This is legal under Article 20(3) of the Constitution
Police cannot force you to confess.
💬 Real Case:
“I was once taken to the station for a false complaint. I asked for written notice — they backed off instantly.”
— Ali, Delhi
📢 Final Tip:
Police can’t override the Constitution.
Learn your rights. Speak respectfully. Stay calm. But don’t get bullied.
✅ Record politely
✅ Ask for names and badge numbers
✅ Use legal terms (they work!)
