People’s Deputy Vitaliy kupriy opposed the introduction of the presumption of innocence of the police. He declared it on air of TV channel “112 Ukraine”.

If the police officer is abusing his authority, then I consider absurd to obey his will. But, defending the rights of police officers, really need to improve the training system, the relevant instructions,” said kupriy.
