Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It's absolutely legal to lodge a complaint against a police officer if you believe he or she has acted unprofessionally. Could you please tell me which city or state you're in? This will help me provide more accurate information.
He told me that I am a police officer and now I will tell you what I can do I know it was an accident but he has no right to talk to me like that I was alone at that time so he started yelling and he made fun of my accent as well because I’m not local here
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, ****. It's definitely not okay for anyone, including a police officer, to treat you in such a manner. To help you further, could you please tell me which city or state this incident occurred in?
I’m in Victoria
