Uso diferenciado da força: a importância dos instrumentos de menor potencial ofensivo na segurança pública

Abstract

In accordance with the Declaration of Human Rights, which, in its third article, assures the right to life and public security in 1990 at the United Nations Congress in Cuba, defined the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms, the BPUFF, which intended to unify and regularize the rules on the use of force by government law enforcement officials, to avoid cases of truculence and abuse of power by government officials. Therefore, the objective of this research is to study the existing technologies of lower offensive potential, training the servers for their use and availability by the state and to analyze the appropriate attitudes related to the moderate use of force and the legitimate use of lethal force in public safety activities. As a result, it was found that the public security system is experiencing a delicate moment regarding the positions focused on the operating modes of police action, namely: interventions on the one hand based on the principles of legality, ethics and professionalism, on the other, some police actions with disastrous outcomes, in which both police institutions and their members are largely imputed for misuse of force, abuse of authority, torture, arbitrary violence, physical and moral harm. The present research has provided an overview of this subject, demonstrating that a prison crisis, a resilient approach or an urban turmoil can be contained effectively without having to use such threatening means for the greater good, namely human life and also manifest that the public power has been demanding from its agents postures based on the dignity of the human person only by editing norms, without offering the necessary resources to comply with them.
