This is because there are still various indications of irregularities and arbitrary actions against suspects and defendants but unfortunately there are no strict sanctions for law enforcement officers who deliberately commit acts against the law in the form of physical or psychological violence which are often carried out by investigators for the sake of obtain the suspect^s confession.
