“IGP said you shouldn’t search our phones”– Man challenges police officer harassing him over phone [Video]

A video making the rounds online shows the moment an armed police officer was having an exchange with a young man who challenged him for forcefully checking his phone.

The guy was reportedly heading for a photoshoot with friends when police stopped his car and demanded to see his phone.

He declined handing the device over to the police officer but the security personnel then collected it by force.

The man began to record the officer with his second phone while repeating the statement by the Inspector general of police that no officer is meant to check citizen’s phones.

The policeman then got physical with him and threatened to break the second phone.

A friend of the victim shared the video on Twitter and wrote; ”Is there anything new under the sun?

”My friend was harassed by the police today while he was on his way for a photo shoot.”
