During the [[Augusto Pinochet]] dictatorship, Carabineros de Chile was involved in many events of violation of human rights. Already in current times, Carabineros de Chile has been accused of committing multiple abuses of power against the indigenous people of the Mapuches in the region of La Araucanía, and they were also accused of human rights violations during the protests in Chile between 2019 and 2020.

=== Nigeria ===

In Nigeria, most incidents of police brutality are perpetrated by the [[Special Anti-Robbery Squad]], or SARS. Nigerians have shared both stories and video evidence of how members of SARS engaged in [[kidnapping]], [[murder]], theft, rape, [[torture]], unlawful arrests, humiliation, unlawful detention, extrajudicial killings, and extortion in Nigeria. SARS officers have been alleged to profile youths based on fashion choices, mount illegal road blocks and searches, conduct unwarranted temperature checks, arrest without warrant, rape women, and extort young Nigerians for driving exotic vehicles and using iPhones. The unit was disbanded in October 2020 following mass demonstrations.
