The police are among the most visible state representatives. Yet, little is known about how police-citizen contacts affect political attitudes. In Brazil, police stops have been central to public security measures since the late 1990s. These stops often violate citizens' civil rights. Drawing upon panel data representative of the city of São Paulo, we investigate whether being stopped or being stopped at gunpoint by the police affect citizens' satisfaction with democracy. To conduct this analysis we apply the panel match model that combines difference-in-differences with matching. We also test a causal mechanism that relates police stops to satisfaction with democracy considering perceptions of police procedural fairness. Our results indicate that police stops at gunpoint reduce satisfaction with democracy because the stops reduce perceptions of procedural fairness
