Topic: How Informed is Your Country's Police About Crypto? (Read 790 times)
In general, our police are not well informed about anything. They were badly educated about things and loved to harass people about crap like cannabis. Their education about crypto is likely just as bad. Thank god cannabis is legal now. Higher up police will know about it like the cybercrime squads. But if you go make a report in the police station about crypto they won't have a clue what you are talking about. Our cybercrime unit is pretty good so they would know more. Honestly, I don't know exactly how good they are but they seem to be aware of scams and things. Yet online the best way to stop scams is to educate yourself. Prevention is better than protection.
Because in my country I have not recognized Bitcoin's solvency, so the police in my country do not care about Bitcoin because their work has nothing to do with them. Only some departments know about them such as cyber security force, economic police.
Not every country has cyber security.But on the whole You are deeply mistaken.Because the police are closely studying the cryptocurrency, as with its help there is at least the purchase and sale of drugs.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. What is the awareness level of law enforcement about crypto in your country?

They always think that Bitcoin and everything related to Bitcoin is a scam. Of course, it is not their fault because documents about bitcoin are not popular in the society right now. They are not educated about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Their job is to deal with work involving property disputes, fraud and legal proceedings. Bitcoin is not recognized by the state so they do not need to find out what bitcoin does. They only care about what is relevant to their work.

there are so called cyber crime units on my country that are specialized in cyber cases or cases that are fully related on the web .
i think these cyber crime units are also available on every country . they arent called police at all but police are mainly foccusing on the local cases and they dont have the knowledge to solve cases related online especially on cryptos .

In my country bitcoin and other crypto aren't well developed here, so not a lot of people know about it till now. Even I think that we don't have rules about the digital currencies in my country, It's kinda not traceable by the police so in the most of cases, no one can't judge you using crypto in my country unless if polices find out that you had a lot of money so they can ask you from where it comes and it's gonna be a problem.
I remember that drugs syndicate also used bitcoin for transacting but the police able to catch them, not sure how deep the the government knows about this crypto and what is the improvement that they doing in order to counter those illegal doers and make a sanctions to whoever and whatever illegal business that be created using bitcoin/crypto. The good thing, they knew about crypto and they are neutral about their stand.
Basically police sector is not enough in dealing with this, they don't have enough knowledge in the IT industry to trace and to have tools in detecting transactions which are prohibited. They need a higher sector such as an FBI, to help them investigate, in addition, it is too hard to capture criminals spread around the world that uses cryptocurrency, most of these ilegal doers knows how to hide their identity so others won't see them in action.
I do not know if there are any rules or law regarding cryptocurrencies since there are many people engaging themselves to crypto and I haven't heard of anyone put to jail because of this, well, there are few who uses the name bitcoin in scamming people base on the news. But even though some people use it in scams, the government isn't triggered by this to the point where they'll put rules regarding cryptos, therefore, police are not really aware of cryptos or anything connected to this. Also, they see many other crimes that are happening here to be more focused on and police are trained to eliminate them.

in my country it is not allowed to use bitcoin for payment but it is permitted to use bitcoin for trading and investment tools.
A very strange approach in your country. If cryptocurrency is available for trading and investment, then why can’t it pay for goods?). For trading, you either buy it or, after making a profit, sell it.I think in Your country is not so bad and most likely in the future such services will appear. 
I just want to add what I heard from the policemen about cryptocurrency. there was this obvious ponzi scheme investment method that they are promoting. that time they don't know what it was, all they know its paying and they thought it was a legit investment method. this scam investment company is also offering a refferal program, so they're victim is growing everyday.
There were so many victims that time because its already 2 years when in started. they used Etherium to fool investors. the method they used is the like of cloud mining. When I first heard about it, I quickly warn them about it, although they were police they don't believe me. they say, they paid us al this time, how can you say it is a scam?
It was really annoying to warn them about it, they don't believe me. until the sudden dip last year has come and that company was dissapeared. just like the other scam investment project and they all lost their money.

Bitcoin is banned in my country, many people in this country do not know about Bitcoin, but the police officers of this country have been arrested and imprisoned for trading Bitcoin, because it is still banned in this country, but there are many police forces who keep it in their minds, and then some. The police detained those working against it, thank you.
Maybe because many cases are been filed in your country to the police that is why it is banned, that is the reason why here in our country it is not yet legal too but it is not banned, but when scammer continous to fool many people there is a possibility that police will takes place and they will banned bitcoin here too. 
Here in the Philippines, I can say that the police knew about crypto but very limited and I think that they only know it because of bad people who used crypto as a front in their investment scams. Our government is somewhat in neutral terms with crypto so it's not legal nor illegal that is why some large companies are slowly adopting the technology in which I think that in the near future all policemen will be forced to be more knowledgeable about crypto.
I remember that drugs syndicate also used bitcoin for transacting but the police able to catch them, not sure how deep the the government knows about this crypto and what is the improvement that they doing in order to counter those illegal doers and make a sanctions to whoever and whatever illegal business that be created using bitcoin/crypto. The good thing, they knew about crypto and they are neutral about their stand.The government still remain as neutral when it comes to cryptocurrency since they focus more on the development of the country than to waste their time and money to debate if they will adopt and accept cryptocurrency in the said country.

in my opinion the police in my country are smart enough and understand about bitcoin and cryptocurrency. but certainly not all police. only the police in charge of cyberspace crime understand bitcoin. and a few months ago I heard the news that the police in my country managed to arrest a person who hacked an American company and asked for a bitcoin payment. the criminal has managed to collect some bitcoin from hacking companies in America. finally caught. in my country it is not allowed to use bitcoin for payment but it is permitted to use bitcoin for trading and investment tools.
I have an advice for you - stop depending on the police or the state to protect you. Use your head, do your own research. Because ultimately when the police learns about crypto "to fight crime" one of the crimes they will fight is owning crypto. Because they are the part of the state, and states are very-very afraid of crypto, because it can ultimately strip them of their power. Stop being a baby and take your life in your own hands.
I think the police officers in our country are not that well informed about crypto and are even not aware that crypto is existing. Bitcoin was once indirectly involved in a scam but after that, the issue had gone. What is more concern about crypto are only few banks here that are starting to study about cryptocurrecy.
Well this is rather tricky,can't say exactly how much they know but from the look of things,there may not be much information they hold about crypto.there should be some enlightenment down here in Nigeria though. Especially among the forces.
