G. Policy Recommendation on the Arrest of Flagrant Offenders of Police Contempt In August 2013, the National Police Agency directed police stations to strictly respond to those who make fusses or disturbances while under the influence during an investigation by arresting them on the charge of flagrant offenders of police contempt, as an attempt to address the matter of interfering with a police officer. Since then, the practice of arresting citizens accused of verbal abuse against police officers during an investigation has increased, and a number of complaints regarding this issue were submitted to the Commission. In response, the Commission reviewed the possible human rights infringements pertaining to the arrest of flagrant offenders of police contempt in legal and procedural aspects by hosting a forum for discussion on August 27, 2014, outlining problems and possible improvement measures relevant to the arrest of flagrant offenders of police contempt in order to collect diverse opinions. After the review, it found that the practices likely cause human rights infringements for the following reasons: i) the police are customarily arresting offenders of police contempt even when there is no concern in regards to possible escape or the destruction of evidence as the police officer knows the offender’s personal information and has many witnesses at the site; ii) the fairness or objectivity is not guaranteed as the Chapter 1.
