Modernization of the Federal Law "On the Police" in the sphere of the application of the rules on circumstances excluding the crime of an act
The article analyzes the content of the norms of the draft law No. 955380-7 «On Amendments to the Federal Law «On the Police»». A comparative analysis of the content of the existing norms of the Federal Law «On the Police» regulating the lawful behavior of police officers related to the restriction of the rights and freedoms of citizens, including the use of firearms, with the above-mentioned bill is carried out. It is noted that the «police» legislation is increasingly reminiscent of departmental instructions, according to which a police officer must act without daring to deviate aside. Attempts to improve the Federal Law «On the Police» are unlikely to change the state of affairs, if only because the regulatory function is to determine (clarify) the powers of federal bodies. At the same time, the granting of new rights to the police invades the scope of norms regulated by other branches of law.
