Hello,
You are right to be concerned. We are living on the "prison planet" with the USA leading the way.
Police have a monopoly on power. And whenever monopolies have power they will abuse it. And it is being abused.
Don't listen to that BS of "if you don't do anything wrong you will have nothing to worry about" Be worried, be very very worried.

It is the best way to get away with anything you want!
Just think: A petty citizen files a grievance against a cop. But, Oops, he intentionally left his camera at home. He didn't expect to be part of a show of force, or victim of a violation of his civil rights that day, anyway. He swears his statement without even been asked to, turns it in, trusting a blind justice system.
Days later, the complaint is dismissed by Internal Affairs because the cop denied the allegation, and the poor victim could not prove anything. Suck it up, Joe Shmoe, the cop gets the same letter you get in his record, and runs for his next promotion!
You see, it isn't in the police or town's best interest to lose money for employee raises paying off citizen lawsuits.
So, who police the police? Well, sometimes vigilantes are tired of abuse too.

Higher Jurisdictions, up unto the Government. Who governs the Government? Other governments. Perhaps the UN when things get out of control. An intricate balance.

The Police have people who do oversite. Most of the time they are called Internal Affairs. They are the Cop's cop... They are very tough and do not tend to show favoritism.

The police must police themselves.

They have an Internal Division but it's more of a corrupt system where no one really reprimands anybody.
