The vote takes place two weeks after the Supreme Court has decided that the municipalities are competent to establish municipal guards to act on urban security actions
The councilors of San Paolo approved, with 42 votes at 10, the amendment project to the organic law (PLO) 8/2017, which provides for the change of name of Metropolitan Civil Guard (GCM) TO Municipal Police. The measure, which needed 37 approvals, was voted during an extraordinary session, held on Thursday 13. Now, the proposal goes to promulgation.
The vote took place two weeks after the Federal Supreme Court (STF) decides that the Brazilian municipalities have competence To establish that Municipal civil guards Act Urban security. After this understanding, some cities, such as San Bernardo do Campo, have already approved and promoted the change of name of the police guard.
With the Supreme’s decision, the guards began to be authorized to operate in a similar way to the military police, with apparent policemen, patrols and personal research, reviewing suspicions. GCM continues to not have the power to make criminal investigations.
ItquaquaCecuba, also in the great San Paolo, was the first city that sanctioned a law that determines the exchange of the name of the local GCM to the municipal police. However, an injunction by the Court of Justice of the State of Saint Paul issued last Tuesday 11, suspended the measure because he understood that the law is unconstitutional.
The project approved this Thursday in the Chamber of San Paolo obtained its first vote in December 2019. The Olp 8/2017 is written by Councilor Edir Sales (PSD) in co -authorization with other parliamentarians. The initial forecast was that the text would be appreciated again at the session of February 26.
However, the decision was postponed because other councilors and the city presented replacement projects at that time. For this reason, the final vote of the project had to wait for the formation of the chamber commissions, which took place on Thursday. The councilors presented an agreement to remove replacement projects to give greater agility in the votes.
Mayor Ricardo Nunes (MDB) says that the capital’s GCM already has a police power. For example, mentions that the company has an automatic gun and travels in the vehicles equipped in technology. “Only the STF was missing to resolve this doubt about its attributions,” he said.
The guards understand that the decision Stf offers greater legal certainty to GCM approaches and arrests. On the other hand, the researchers and representatives of the prosecutor believe that the measure can weaken other attributions of the guards (such as the inspection of exchanges and the protection of the assets) and cause a climb of the political use of the companies.
