Primary Exploration into the System of Police Witness

Police's testifying system is an objective need to investigate a case's truth. It is beneficial for judicial justice and has positive social significance. It is practical to establish the police witness system since it has legal and theoretical bases. As witnesses, police should insist on principles of speaking directly, having the status of a nature person and testifying separately. Some related laws should be improved further in order to promote the functional relations among investigation, prosecution and hearing and to set up the central position for judicial judgment. It also needs to change ideological concepts and police's habitual thought of being unwilling to give testifying words. And the people's paper testimony should be strictly standardized as well.
