HOW CAN YOU APPLY TO THE POLICE IN TURKEY?

Situations when it is necessary to contact the police often arise unexpectedly. Therefore, it is difficult to prepare for such events.

When you encounter unexpected events, it is necessary to know your rights and obligations well. Turkish citizens and foreigners have the same rights.

If someone commits criminal acts, the police should be called to the scene to stop these acts.

If illegal actions have been committed during a phone call, such as offenses of insults and threats, a person has the right to contact the police station. When faced with such a situation, it is not necessary to immediately go to the police station. It is necessary to prepare, hire a lawyer, and the next day file a complaint with the police with professional statements. The testimony given at the police headquarters forms the outlines of a possible criminal case.

What evidence needs to be presented if a person makes threats and insults to you on the phone?

It is necessary to have a person with you who is older than 16 years old and who has witnessed threats and insults being made to you.

Audio recording is accepted only in crimes such as threats and insults, in cases where it is impossible to prove it in any other way. In this case, the relevant audio recordings are also added to the complaint petition.

Even if there are disputes between the parties, it is forbidden to record only conversations that are not the subject of a Decriminalized act. If a voice recording is taken in such a situation, the person who recorded the voice may be punished.

In cases of crimes committed through communication, the police investigate which number you are calling from and call the complainant to the police station to give a statement.

A complaint can be filed with the Prosecutor's Office by giving a power of attorney to a lawyer without going to the police to file a criminal complaint. This process is faster than the stage of going to the police.
