A: If you believe that the police officers engaged in misconduct by making derogatory comments about your character and weight, you may have legal options available to you. One option may be to file a complaint with the police department's internal affairs division or civilian review board, depending on the jurisdiction. You may also want to consider consulting with an attorney who can advise you on potential legal remedies, such as filing a lawsuit for defamation or civil rights violations. It's important to gather and preserve any evidence, including the audio recording, that supports your claims.
