In August 2008 Yesh Din received 3 films apparently taken by a Border Policeman's cellular phone. The videos show Border Police officers searching, then striking and humiliating Palestinian residents while searching them. Despite the videos clearly depicting events and the identities of the policemen known, the Department for the Investigation of Police Officers announced in January 2009 that it would not prosecute the policemen involved. Yesh Din appealed the decision with the Office of the State Attorney.
