Baku/09.02.19/Turan: The metropolitan police campaign to intensify the struggle for "public morality" is doubtful from a legal point of view, said in an interview with a Turan a legal expert, lawyer Asabali Mustafayev, commenting on today's statement by the Baku police about the start of the fight against immoral manifestations in the center of the capital.
There is no concept of "public morality" and "national mentality" in the legislation, and assessments of these concepts are subjective.
"When the police conduct raids against auto-hooligans, this is understandable, since there is such an offense in the legislation. However, what is under "public morality" or "national mentality"?
What criteria will be used by police officers?
If the police have operational information about the operation of the brothel in any facility, law enforcement officers can conduct an operation there. However, to conduct raids with the aim of searching for such objects, already raises questions from the point of view of legality.
It is much more appropriate to tighten control over television programs, where promiscuity is openly promoted on the air, the lawyer said. -D06-
