PETALING JAYA: The inspection of a person’s mobile phone at police roadblocks cannot be conducted in an arbitrary manner, says the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia .
Suhakam also called on the government to clarify the statement by Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain that police have the right to check an individual’s mobile phone should there be a police report lodged against that person, an investigation on the individual, or if they suspect the individual is involved in a crime.
“The Malaysian Bar Council has issued a booklet titled The Police and Your Basic Rights that lists scenarios with the police and what you can do to exercise your rights as a citizen. “Suhakam reiterates the importance of every individual to be aware of their fundamental rights and for law enforcement officers to conduct these roadblocks in a lawful and responsible manner, with care and caution,” the statement said.
“The police should follow strict procedures that respect individuals’ right to privacy and ensure checks are conducted fairly and transparently.
