The legal consistency of the presidential veto on the categorizing of the crime of murder proposed in the anti-crime package

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the causes of the presidential veto of Section VIII, proposed by bill 882/2019, whose purpose is to include the qualifier of the use of a firearm restricted or prohibited to the crime of murder. The veto is based on a violation of the principles of proportionality and legal certainty, leaving public security officers at a disadvantage if the above qualifier is approved, since restricted weapons are more vulnerable and, in most cases, handled by this type of professional. The procedure used is the qualitative method, through bibliographic and documentary research. Consequently, the conclusion reached is that the legal arguments used to seal the advertised inciso were inconsistent.
