When the people entrusted to enforce law and bring justice to common man misuse it do they lose power ?
When the same persons who are entrusted by the common man to enforce law and order start misusing it to harass common man and help criminals do they lose their job and power by virtue of being corrupt and law breakers ?
I think that anyone who misuses power loses it the moment he/she decides to misuse it and no institution created to support the common man can support such corrupt persons or justify their behavior.
What says you ?
So Eric, are you saying that they become criminals who misuse the public infrastructure to harass common man especially if he/she is alone and not in big numbers ?
sb :I agree with you completely.
ulagam : Iam giving a solution to flush out corruption. As soon as a person decides to take the corrupt path he/she loses their job and title, morally and by the laws defining such institution.
Which means that most of the people who call themselves Ministers, officers are not in their post anymore when they become corrupt and public should use this argument to throw them out, irrespective of what they or their supporters say.

Yes, but only if the public at large bands together and demands it. This doesn't happen very often. People are complacent, are unaware, or just don't want to be bothered with it. And so, law enforcement gains power in most cases. They have the guns and the jail, and their radio, and know the judge, etc. When a single common man tries to identify an officer's wrongdoing, they end up being the subject of that officer's scrutiny. I've encountered it many times.

It all depends upon the conscience of the higher authorities and the people at large. If the higher authorities are themselves corrupt and support or indulge in such misuse of power then only a powerful (in number) and educated mass if united together and raise their voice can teach those criminals a just lesson - after all India is the world's largest democracy-its for the people, of the people and by the people.Whatever may be the problem if the people become united and strongly protest against it then nobody would be able to save those miscreants from nemesis.

That will remain a pipe dream, unless there is a strong movement for flushing corruption from public life. Unless we kill the cancer of corruption, the nation will not flourish.

By this yardstick all our politicians, Government servants and bureaurocrates must have been behid the bars. What ever happens is dependent upon the cunningness of the doer and innocense of the people.
