The initiator stated that he was absent on 23 April 2012 from the Dob pri Mirni Prison. When he returned and entered his living quarters, he found that judicial police officers had inspected them during his absence. He especially pointed out in his initiative that judicial police officers had ‘scattered’ his clothes and other things on the floor during the inspection. On this basis, he required judicial police officers to inform Trebnje Police Station (PS) of the destruction, since he wanted to file a complaint against them; however, they did not do as requested. He repeated his request on 24 April 2012 and emphasised it by setting a razor blade against his neck and not removing it until police officers from Trebnje PS arrived. He further stated that a certificate of temporary confiscation of belongings had waited for him on the cabinet upon his return and that he had not wanted to sign it. He was wondering how it was even possible that he had refused signing the certificate if he had not been at the Dob pri Mirni Prison at that time at all.
