The Independent Police Investigative Directorate says the newly signed Amendment Bill will strengthen its independence and impartiality.IPID Chief Director of Legal Services, Stephens Ramafoko says, “If you look at two major changes: the issue of investigating offences committed off and on duty by the police, such as rape by officers, metro or SAPS. Previously, IPID couldn’t investigate offences committed while the police officer was off duty.
Violence and policing researcher Mary de Haas says, “When you just shoot people dead, you don’t know whether among them are innocent people. It’s not correct and it shouldn’t be happening in the first place if the police were functioning properly. You wouldn’t have so many armed criminals around. That’s why we have a Crime intelligence. They are supposed to pick up where the guns are, they are supposed to pre-empt this type of thing to prevent the shootouts.
