How Informed is Your Country's Police About Crypto?

[daarul50]

My country has been actively enforcing and busting these kinds of investment scams including crypto related ones and other cyber crimes that I believe our Police, together and in coordination with other law enforcement agencies are continuously training to acquire necessary knowledge and skills in order to be more effective in combating these types of crimes.

this cyber crimes issue has been exist for years with various motives .

as time goes by there is a lot of new motives behind any commited cybercrimes , cryptocurrency that born since 2008 become a primadonna for those who have abusive behavior like scamming on behalf bitcoin , phising etc.
a lot of techniques making fraudlent in this digital financial era and i believe every country in this world even the poorest country are aware about the issue and have taken action against all of it , still they can not handle it 100% , they only human.

cryptocurrency is a free world , nobody can protect you 100% not even police , educate yourself that is the better protection.

In my country, I see many sites that are Bitcoin ponzi and scams. These thrive because the police put in little effort in tacking them. I like the awareness being created by the Indian police.

if this is applied in my country will be much more developed, most police and law enforcement here never understand and learn about crypto, so they are so easy to digest anything about the media that crypto currency is not a good thing to use and can be used for criminal acts, Progress like this is certainly expected for crypto friends in his country, whatever it is best for India I salute for development there

I don't really think that they are informed well about crypto or Bitcoin,
Most of the people in my country only thinks about Bitcoin or crypto as a scam since they lack of knowledge about it,
Most of them thinks that it is scam or something like Ponzi scheme since most of the scammer in our country are now accepting investment through Bitcoin,
So they would mistake it as an investment scheme and they don't really know about crypto.

[Eclipse26]

I don't think that police officers in my country give that much attention about cryptocurrency. Even the government. Right now because of the aim of our President, they're more focused on drugs and other things. They focuses more on war on drugs. Maybe also one reason is that there's no much news about crypto-related scams, or illegal activities/transactions that they have to handle.

[adjed]

In my country, the police do not care about Cryptocurrencies because there are no laws that supports or declares it illegal, so when someone is caught and they find out that the person is a Cryptocurrency Enthusiasts, they would just check to make sure the person is not participating in illegal activities online and if the person checks out, then they let them go, I hope my country's Government wakes up to the fact that other countries are taking this very serious and jump on the bandwagon before it's too late.

[pawanjain]

I am from India too and yes I do agree that the police from our country is well aware of crypto but to be honest they treat it as illegal money.
I have heard of cases where the police arrested people just because they were mining cryptocurrencies.
So only being aware is not the factor but being aware while being knowing what is right and what is wrong should be factor to be considered here.

in my country, establish cryptocurrency investments, they must ask permission from the financial services authority, and the institution always urges to be careful about cryptocurrency investments, because of many shitcoin investments. also, the police in my country can still arrest because they have a cybercrime team.

Well, in my country our government has no issue regarding with the utilization of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Let's say it is between being illegal and legal. These cryptocurrencies are not already part of our constitution but I can't say that is illegal since I can still use it freely, as a matter of fact, there is an online wallet created here in my country that is affiliated with our banks. Moreover, it has been featured in local news however it was introduced with having a bad image.

They should be knowledgeable of the different activities of crypto that may cause problem. If crypto is fully ban in India then they can arrest them but if not, then there's no point of aresting just because of mining, in my country I can consider that our government allows us to explore more as long as we know how to research since they know crypto exist already or have communities using crypto but their not limiting it jsut they remind to avoid scammer and do illegal activities using it.

In our country, police are aware of the existence of cryptocurrency but they don't know how it works. Police here still needs enough knowledge about crypto scams and Ponzi schemes. That's one of the reasons why the scam victims here can't reach achieve justice. The good thing is the government isn't against crypto which is an advantage for most users.

[carriebee]

Other countries policemen are aware about crypto but they are not well educated how to use and how it all works. I can say I am one of the lucky person knows how crypto works. In terms of law enforcement the police doesn't know how to track the illegal doings. This is good to hear in your country that police has its understanding to track illegal act that user can be avoided to join Ponzi scheme.

Here in the Philippines, there are some police who are aware with bitcoin and cryptocurrency scams because there are incidents like a couple was arrested due to bitcoin investment scam and they are the owners of the New-G company that they stole a total of 15 Million Philippine Peso. Hoping that every police in every country could really arrest those people who are scammers for us not to be afraid anymore to take risk in making investments.

The police here are not educated about Crypto criminals but on legal matters and implementing the laws, but the citizens in our country who are into Cryptocurrency is very much educated in Ponzi and scam programs, there's still a lot of Ponzi scheme and they are victimizing gullible people, but we have our own SEC and our own cyber bureau to prosecute these scammers.

[Tipstar]

They caught a miner and closed down a bank linked exchange. And there are some reports of crypto frauds with relatively unknown crypto projects doing lavish seminars in hotels.
Trading of crypto is illegal while the rules are not clear for holding. There were some hotels and restaurants with bitcoin accepted here signs, seems like they've taken down the signs.

[Gotumoot]

The cops in my country are not aware in bitcoin and crypto currency, so when someone reports to them in this case they pass it on to their superior this the NBI or National Bureau of Investigation. They are investigating this case and when they confirm it is there that the Police and the NBI can join forces to arrest cyber criminals. But in the case of bitcoin scam I heard a little that they are catching on because it is difficult to track because Bitcoin is made to be anonymous.

[pixie85]

Not really. They have some cyber crime divisions and if you are strictly dealing with crypto and your whole illegal business model depends on it you may get targeted by them.
Like if you are selling child porn on deep web for cryptocurrencies they will track you and also try to track the money.

If you get arrested for anything else like avoiding taxes they aren't going to look for crypto. They don't care what you're doing as long as it's not illegal and crypto is legal.

[Hamphser]

I can't say I understand the minds of the cops, but I'm sure they see bitcoin as something to be used in criminal activities because that's how they view the world.  Everyone they come in contact with is an actual or potential criminal and I have no doubt that most of them know about bitcoin and its links to drugs and other illegal things.

Who cares what the cops think, anyway?  Let them keep up their campaign of abuse and harassment and leave crypto alone.  Same thing for the politicians.

I kinda agree with you because they don't seem to share their knowledge to the people if it's not about the risk of security. Most of the time if they would like people to know it they would certainly go straight to the media and with now that social media is a thing it is easy for them to share it there. So far the cops are not giving any signs of restrictions or something so i think it's still okay.

[AicecreaME]

Authorities here in our country seems to be neutral about cryptocurrency, though there are several cases already about scams that happened and cryptocurrency's name is involved, bitcoin to be specific, they are being cautious when it comes to huge transaction of fiat via cryptocurrency, that is why we never expose our money too much in public like banks or money remittances, being lowkey is the key, and just slowly cash out your money to not become suspicious.

[electronicash]

my country Philippines seem pretty aware crypto exist, there are even coins purposely made for remittances here but i'm not sure if the police authorities are well informed about how it works.  there were suppose tobe discussions on crypto in the senate but i'm not aware if it were really discussed since the political instability here is somehow what is to be preserved first. this is troubled country but perfect for crypto to exist.

[fuguebtc]

To curb cryptocurrency Ponzi and scams police cybercrime units need to be well trained. In my country police is struggling to curb the traditional crimes, expecting them to crack down on crypto scam site will be like living in a fools paradise. In my opinion, every crypto community member should work hard to create awareness about such scams.
