JOHANNESBURG - A landmark judgment has affirmed the rights of South Africans when dealing with police.
The High Court in Johannesburg has ruled that citizens can question officers and record them without fear of arrest.
This comes after attorney Jacobs was wrongfully arrested for filming a roadblock near his home.
The court found the arrest unlawful and awarded Jacobs R250,000 in damages.
The High Court judge stressed that asking questions and demanding explanations is not interference with police duties.
