Nurturing Misconduct
There is a Latin phrase often used when the oversight of law enforcement officers is discussed: Quis custodiet ipso custodes? (the first word is often cited without the “s”.

Cops under investigation for m
The two plainclothes policemen involved in an hour-long stand-off at the Apollo market Sunday are under investigation for impropriety.
State criminal investigation department chief Datuk Abdul Samah Mat stressed to newsmen that the raid that caused the ruckus was perfectly legal, but police want to establish if the two followed proper procedure.
"I want to make it clear that the raid was legal but we have yet to conclude whether the duo introduced themselves properly," he said.
The probe will look at how the two conducted themselves and whether or not they showed their authority cards right at the start of the raid.
Abdul Samah said their immediate superior had sent them to the Apollo market in Jalan Raja Uda, and the lance corporal and constable raided a stall they noticed was selling pornographic DVDs.
They were nearly attacked by a crowd of 200 people when someone shouted that the stall was being robbed. The stand-off ended an hour later when a police inspector arrived.
