The Price for Torture: Three Months, Demotion

Smugglers and pole vaulters are also not innocents.

If bangladesh are pole vaulters than Indians are tunnel diggers.

LOS FRESNOS, Texas (AP) — Police wearing berets and bulletproof vests broke down the door of a Guatemala City apartment in February hunting for illegal drugs. Instead, they found a different kind of illicit shipment: 27 immigrants from India packed into two locked rooms.

The Indians, whose hiding space was furnished only with soiled mattresses, claimed to be on vacation. But authorities quickly concluded they were waiting to be smuggled into the United States via an 11,000-mile (17,700-kilometer) pipeline of human cargo — the same network that has transported thousands of illegal immigrants from India, through Central America and Mexico and over the sandy banks of the Rio Grande during the past two years.

Indians have arrived in droves even as the overall number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S. has dropped dramatically, in large part because of the sluggish American economy. And with fewer Mexicans and Central Americans crossing the border, smugglers are eager for more "high-value cargo" like Indians, some of whom are willing to pay more than $20,000 for the journey.

"Being the businessmen they are, they need to start looking for ways to supplement that work," said Rosendo Hinojosa, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol's Rio Grande Valley Sector, at the southernmost tip of Texas, which is the most active nationwide for apprehending Indian nationals.

Between October 2009 and March 2011, the Border Patrol detained at least 2,600 illegal immigrants from India, a dramatic rise over the typical 150 to 300 arrests per year.

Police to public ratio being low is a myth "Thus the police-public ratio would be 1:653 in the State capital. He compared it with the ratio of 1:334 in Mumbai, 1:262 in Delhi, 1:474 in Kolkata and 1:614 in Chennai. This showed that protection to people in Hyderabad was lowest.", compare that of usa "Currently on average the ratio of police to population in the US comes to about 2.3 officers per thousand residents; larger cities have higher ratios. That force ratio has remained steady for nearly three decades at around 2.21-2.34 police officers per 1000 civilian population. The number of officers killed in the line of duty has reduced by over three times that of the early 1970s. Presently, the number of fallen has reduced further from 70 in 2001 to 41 in 2008. The 72 deaths that resulted from the events of September 11, 2001 are not included in the totals. So far this year, there have been 20 gun related deaths for the police nationwide."...it is about the same. It is just police folks are very lowly paid in the subcontinent and getting into the police force even takes a lot of bribery....thus these police are morally corrupt from the beginning.

Can you give the source of your data. So that we can compare city to city, officers with officers (like vs like).
Big cities in India are better policed compared to small cities and rest of India.


Here is one source:
Police officer per lakh in India is 152
UN standard : 222
Singapore : 600

Most others have between 250 to 300, and pakistan is better than India in this regard.
Police-public ratio in state far below UN standard: DGP - Times Of India
 
@Aazidane. USA has all right to deal with illegal immigrants but few thousand illegal Indian could do the harm.

In my home state, Bangladeshi are mostly involved in smuggling fake currency and terror plots through our open border with Nepal and also created widespread nuisance in Eastern part of my state. 2-3 corrupt BSF official won't change the truth of these shameless smugglers and pole vaulters.

We have the same problem in Bangladesh with Indians bringing fake currency and Indians smuggling, we do not wine about it. Please provide official statistics on how Bangladeshis are in this trade.
 
OK, USA national average is 230 per lakh then, as against 152 in India and 600 in singapore.

This is just one part of story, access to better equipment (communication/transport/weapon) also helps US police.
The focus of Indian police can never be crime prevention with this number (and with this equipment) but only post crime response.
And they respond it with brutality so as to create a fear among citizen. (thereby preventing crime with fear)

Corruption and low wage are factors too I agree. But low numbers keep them in fire fighting mode always.

Compare the response of met police during london riots. They refused to intervene in many places due to low numbes and let the places burn.
The Indian police response would have been brutal crackdown with a dozen dead.
 
Bangladeshis let go 90k Pak Soldiers who inflicted upon them the worst unspeakable atrocities but want us to hang our soldier who was just doing his duty. Although I donot approve the method adopted by the soldier to punish the smuggler.

These smugglers work in active connivance of Bangldeshi as well few Indian forces posted along the Indian border so instead posting huge number of indian forces along border we should pay some sort of bribe to these Bangladeshi border forces so that they may be able to keep these smugglers in check. Only practical solution for this problem.

I think they should legalize cow trade :/

I would suggest something even better, why don't you guys turn vegetarian. :)

They should not be punished at all.

It will encourage terrorists, smugglers and illegal immigrants. :tdown:

vegetarianism is for hippies and communists. We are a nation of meat eaters.
