But we cannot just sit behind and said that authorities will not torture, especially during dire circumstances or time-bomb situations. Legalizing torture perhaps is the best way to legitimize and do it properly with legalized consent. If authorities wish to torture (during a time-bomb situation) they need to obtain a warrant - which has to be queried and signed by two judges, a prosecutor, and a high ranking police officer (of Captain or Sheriff's rank). Any form of torture which is not legitimized by authorities is illegal and can be prosecuted. This includes any informal forms of torture and/or abuse in whatever circumstances. Any illegal forms not only an individual can be prosecuted but the agency and/or department is/are liable for compensation (no questions asked-if direct evidence points to abuse).
