The opposite is true of me. I spoke up for myself. handed in a letter of complaint that I had wrote when I was in a very, very bad mood indeed. I handed it in in person to my local police station, it was addressed to the Chief Super. I can not remember the wording of the letter but it had an extremely aggressive and self righteous tone to it (but with good reason). Although I had done wrong in the eyes of the law (a very minor crime) I would never have been arrested that night and later charged and sentenced if I had not wrote that letter, I have had that confirmed off the record, it's not just paranoia. I am still trying to sort this mess out some six years later but getting the police to formally admit there wrong doing is like getting blood out of a stone. However there is more than one way to skin a cat.
