Once again about the use of physical force and special technical means by police officers

The article examines the problems and grounds for the use of physical force, draws attention to the fact that physical force use by a police officer is a kind of administrative coercion from legal point of view. The use of physical force is an objective necessity, despite this the law establishes the limits of its use. The author formulates proposals on the limits of the use of physical force, analyzes such a category as "special technical means", draws attention to the role played by special technical means in police work, presents and doctrinally justifies the classification of technical means. The article draws attention to the problems of the use of special means in the conditions of digital reality, emphasizes that it is necessary to determine the mechanism and regime of legal responsibility for the use of special means in the conditions of digital reality. The methodological basis of the article is formed by a set of generally accepted methods of cognition, namely: general scientific methods, in particular, methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, system-structural method; special formal legal method. In particular, through the use of methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, the concept of "the use of physical force"; "the use of special means" was formulated. The author concluded that when using physical force, it is not allowed to cause serious harm to the health of the person against whom this coercion was carried out. The principle of adequacy of physical impact should permeate the entire process of using physical force, a police officer should clearly understand that if it is enough to inflict one relaxing blow, then it is not necessary to inflict a second blow. It is also necessary to understand the anatomical features of a person, this will make it possible to prevent serious injuries to the person concerned. A police officer should also be aware that the physical and property damage caused as a result of the use of physical force can be appealed by the relevant person. The article concludes that the use of special means increases the physical impact on a person, while there are quite a lot of reasons for the use of these means, these are the grounds established both for the actual use of appropriate means and those grounds that are defined for the use of firearms.
