No law needed for pele police — Public Security Minister
No law is required for the the National Police to use the "pele police", says the Minister of Public Security, Jose Raul Mulino.
He said that the use of the hand held computers and other "technological tools" in the fight against organized crime is supported by Law April 15, 2010, which created the ministry in charge.
"No law is needed for police to use in their fight against crime, technological tools such as the pele police, cellular blockers in prisons, biometrics, surveillance cameras or any other that we acquire," he told La Prensa.
On the ruling by the ruling, of Judge Felipe Fuentes,in the 7th criminal court, who on October 13 declared the illegality of the verification system for not being covered by any law, Mulino said it is a decision that applies only between the parties to that process and that compliance is not general.
But both ex judge Edgardo Molino Mola and former attorney general Ana Matilde Gomez felt that the application of the instrument violates the Constitution and cannot go on the streets.
