In many instances suspected underworld criminals have been killed while in police custody, ostensibly in shootouts while accompanying officers to show arms caches. Members of the public believe that the rule of law has been severely compromised and that the police have, on such occasions, acted arbitrarily and with disregard for due process.
It is alleged that particular governments and not the police require such suspects to be eliminated, and that police officers merely carry out the wishes and are offered the carrot of possible promotions. This film discusses the thoughts and concerns of three officers as they travel together to a destination marked for the assassination of a suspect with whom they have no quarrel whatsoever.
