The police did not follow regulations when they opened fire, says UIA law professor Raja Badrol Hisham Raja Mohd Ali.
While police procedures allow them to “use all necessary action to affect an arrest” on a suspect, they have overstepped their bounds in firing the shot that killed 14-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah in Shah Alam last month, said a legal expert, Universiti Islam Antarabangsa law professor Raja Badrol Hisham Raja Mohd Ali who explained that the Inspector General's Standing Orders (IGSO) allows for the use of firearms in 'extreme situations.' but he asked, “In Aminulrasyid's case, the pertinent question is, was (the situation) 'extreme' enough to justify the firearm being drawn and fired?”
