The police often discourage people from seeking revenge or justice through violent or illegal means, and instead, to trust the legal system to handle matters appropriately.
Taking the law into your own hands can lead to criminal charges, civil lawsuits, retaliation, damage to reputation, further harm to victims, and undermine the legal system. It is best to report any suspected criminal activity to the relevant authorities and allow them to handle the matter legally.
