Opressive behaviour is when the Cop won't ignore illegal behaviour that they witnessed and insist on actually charging someone. This is specially so for something like a driver not wearing his seatbelt (observed by a hidden spotter), sees the Cops and pulls the belt on (being observed by both Cops), then gets into a nasty denial at the top of his voice at roadside, when the pick up Member waves him in and issues the VT.
I had one guy who I followed with lights and siren for 5 kms, on a quiet rural road. He refused to slow down or stop until he pulled into his driveway. He then got out of his truck and started walking towards his house like he didn't see or hear the fully marked PC behind him stopped in his driveway, siren blaring. He pretended that I was not there until I grabbed his shoulder and restrained him. He then denied that he had been driving the truck, said that the truck had not moved for weeks because it was broken, and he had just emerged from his house attracted by the siren and told me to get off his property....all very aggressively, at the top of his voice. After I charged him with excessive speed, fail to stop, no insurance, no DL and issued a #1 inspection order on his piece of junk pickup with no VIN # on it, he filed a complaint because of my oppressive behaviour. He was very well known to Police and any time he had dealings with Police he immediately filed a complaint. Never succeeded in any of them because they were all lies, but it causes a lot of stress if you are the subject of the whole complaint process, specially when you know it's all a crock.
