I have lost all faith in humanity today. Refer to this post https://www.reddit.com/r/Panchkula/s/DTGHQPVQhR

The police charged me for serious offences.

1. Breaking the lock and disabling electronic lock by removing its batteries (to gain entrance to my own home) was classified as theft and destruction of property.

2. Going on late night shifts and returning late night and repeatedly locking and unlocking the door was classified as public nuisance.

3. Taking deliveries from doorstep food and grocery apps was classified as threat to safety because of threat from delivery people.

4. Washing or cleaning my car in my own home was classified as littering.

5. Politely requesting to not lock the door was classified as criminal threat and harassment.

The video that shows this person hitting me and the policeman manhandling me and snatching my phone was ignored because it was not related to the matter and I needed to file a complaint for police to take action.

I still cannot believe what just happened.

Is the police corrupt and lawless or helpful? What is your experience?

I am a house owner on the third floor of a stilt +3 house. There are two main entrances in the access to my top floor apartment. The first floor house owner has begun to lock one entrance and the middle floor tenant wants to lock the other, thus leaving me dependent on their mercy for my own entry as well as for family and guests. Time and again I have requested them to not lock the entrances with their personal locks but to no avail.

Today, I came early morning from an overnight shift (I am en ER doctor). I found the first gate locked so I had to break open the lock. The second gate was also locked so I disabled it by removing its batteries. They are both calling these acts a theft and called the police. I was alone with my baby when the police arrived at my door. They forcibly trued to take me to the police station and the middle floor tenant tried to assault me while I shielded my baby with my body (I have a video footage). I managed to flee upstairs and locked myself. What are my options? Please help.
