IGP warns action against those found taking photos, videos of cops manning roadblocks

Tuesday, 07 Apr 2020 11:48 AM MYT

KUALA LUMPUR, April 7 — Individuals who shoot photos, videos of policemen manning roadblocks across the country with the intention of creating a negative perception about the police on social media will face stern action, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador.“I want to stress that the police roadblocks were not being mounted nationwide just for the fun of curbing movement or causing inconvenience to the public.

Abdul Hamid said the police personnel at the roadblocks were exposed to the risk of Covid-19 infection. “If they have gone out to purchase goods, it is not a problem, but if they purposely go out to record the roadblocks, then it is an offence because the police who are performing their duties are not there to be filmed or are on show,” he said.
