Country: United States of America
State: Massachusetts

I have a question regarding the professional conduct of state police troopers towards arrestees.
Does a person under arrest have the right to refuse a demand by a state trooper if that request is demeaning toward the arrestee? Specifically, can a state trooper demand an arrestee to comply with an order to stand inside a plastic garbage bag with holes for the feet and march said arrestee outside of the police barracks? Additionally, does a state police trooper have the right to intimidate an arrestee by throwing his clothing into a puddle of urine?

Answer

You should obey if possible and then file a complaint--those acts can be reason to dismiss him after and even for you to collect damages possibly--
