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!)
