I don't. I can't know for sure, but I suppose this would be a suicidal move pretty much everywhere around the world.
Also, what especially bad history does the Austrian police have that you're referring to? There was an immobilized immigrant killed once, sure an awful deed, but that was over 20 years ago and I am not aware of any more recent severe violations. Sure there were some, that include unnecessary violence I really don't intend to diminish, but to give our police an especially bad reputation, especially in regard with killing people, seems a bit unfair. Unless you're aware of actually deadly incidents I am not aware of.
