Aspectos jurídicos do uso dos instrumentos de menor potencial ofensivo pelos agentes de segurança pública

Abstract

This paper aims to conduct a research on the use of the instruments of lower potential offensive by public security agents. From a legal analysis, we highlight the most relevant on the subject in the fields of doctrine, law, jurisprudence and international treaties. Research is important because it demystifies the view that the instruments with the least offensive potential would be synonymous with violence and abuse of authority. On the contrary, the homeland and international legal system on the subject informs that the instruments with the least offensive potential are tools that, within the principle of proportionality, have the purpose of preserving life. The following theorists contributed to the development of the theme: Nestor Sampaio Penteado Filho, Marcelo Tavares de Souza and Marsuel Botelho Riani. Finally, it is hoped that this work can transmit the necessary knowledge so that law enforcers can value the instruments of lower offensive potential as allies for a good social life.
