Hello all, today at geneva corvin train station my family and I witnessed three SBB security officers take down and then physically restrain a person. Afterwards six police officers came. One person in my family was filming because the SBB security officers were twisting the head and legs of the person they were restraining and were worried for their safety. When the police came they blocked the publics view from the person, started commanding people to leave and came around telling people to stop filming. A police officer came to us and tried to take my family member‘s phone out of their hand while they were still filming. And also touching the phone to stop the recording. My family member took the phone back, the police officer was then demanding for them to unlock the phone and delete the video. While also saying that we are not aloud to record in french. We are swiss but from the german part, so we couldn‘t understand him while he was taking the phone before he switched to english. I was honestly shocked at this behaviour and couldn‘t believe the aggression the police officer had towards us and the blatant disregard for what‘s legal (ripping phone out of hand, telling us we can‘t film). We started walking away without deleting the video, then he started to threaten us, that we would launch a complaint if he found the video online. I will make a complaint against him if possible, because of his behaviour and trying to take our personal possessions without a reason. Unfortunately, I don’t have his name, because none of them were wearing name tags. Has anyone else had an experience like this? Did making a complaint work? Kind regards submitted by /u/45003805
