It was verified that the doctrine studious of the subject is not unanimous, since there is current that considers such attribution prohibited to the police authority, nevertheless, the study showed that it is more correct the understanding according to which the police delegate should be given the possibility of deliberation about the presence or not of circumstances that exclude the illegality of the fact, this because the current Federal Constitution reflects the return of the Democratic State of Law, with a strong appreciation for respect for human rights, especially the right to freedom.
