No. 468-FZ

Article 36 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On the State Border of the Russian Federation" regulates the use of special means in the protection of the State Border within the border territory, as well as to ensure their own security of the system of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, military personnel use special means (handcuffs or improvised means for tying, rubber sticks, tears, light and sound devices for distracting action, devices for forced stopping of transport), physical force, including fighting techniques, and service dogs in accordance with the law of the Russian Federation "On the police".

A complete list of special means in service with border agencies, the grounds and rules for their use by servicemen of border agencies, as well as by servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, other troops and military formations of the Russian Federation while protecting the State Border are established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

So, in particular, the law of the Russian Federation "On the police" provides that when using physical force, special means, an employee must:

warn of the intention to use, while providing sufficient time to fulfill the employee's requirements, except for those cases when delay in the use of physical force, special means or firearms creates an immediate danger to the life and health of citizens and police officers, may entail other grave consequences, or when such a warning in the current situation is inappropriate or impossible;

strive, depending on the nature of the danger of the offense and the persons who committed it, and the strength of the opposition, to ensure that any damage caused in this case is minimal;

ensure that persons who have received bodily injuries are provided with first aid and notification of their relatives as soon as possible;

In addition to the above conditions, this law prohibits the use of special means against women with visible signs of pregnancy, persons with obvious signs of disability and minors, except for cases of armed resistance, the commission of a group or other attack that threatens the life and health of people, as well as in the suppression of illegal assemblies, rallies, street processions and demonstrations of a non-violent nature that do not disrupt the work of transport, communications, organizations.

Regulation of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 24, 1998 No. 634 "On approval of the list of special equipment in service with the bodies of the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, and the rules for the use of special equipment when protecting the State Border of the Russian Federation within the border territory and ensuring the system's own security Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation ".

The special means, physical strength and service dogs listed in the Resolution are used to overcome opposition to legal requirements to comply with the established rules of the state border regime, border regime, regime at checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation and to ensure their own security, as well as to detain persons who have violated them, when the use of other methods of suppressing offenses, excluding the use of weapons and military equipment, does not ensure the fulfillment of the duties assigned to employees (military personnel).

In this chapter, we examined the legal basis for the use of weapons and special means by employees of the Federal Security Service, gave a brief description of them and gave examples.

§2. The procedure for the use of special means by employees of the FSB of Russia

Similarly to the previous chapter, the procedure for the use of special means by FSB officers can be divided into four components:

cases of using special means;

conditions for the use of special means;

the actual procedure for the use of special tools;

the limits of the use of special tools.

The legal regulation of the content of all of the above elements is determined in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 24, 1998 No. 634 "On approval of the list of special equipment in service with the bodies of the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, and the rules for the use of special equipment when protecting the State Border of the Russian Federation within of the border area and ensuring its own security of the system of the Border Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation "

Cases (grounds) for the use of special means in accordance with the Resolution are:

obstruction of the verification of documents of persons and documents for vehicles and the goods transported on them;

an attack on servicemen and citizens of the Russian Federation participating on a voluntary basis in the defense of the State Border of the Russian Federation within the border territory;

sufficient grounds to believe that the persons intend or are preparing to provide armed resistance;

seizure of hostages, buildings, premises, structures, vehicles and terrain;

behavior of persons giving grounds to believe that they can escape or harm others or themselves;

failure to comply with legal requirements for stopping vehicles;

other unlawful actions that violate the activities of the Border Guard Service of the FSB of Russia.

The conditions for the use of special tools are:

warning of the intention to use them, while providing sufficient time to fulfill the requirements of the serviceman (employee), except for those cases when delay in the use of special means creates an immediate danger to the life and health of servicemen and citizens, may entail other grave consequences, or when such a warning in the created environment is inappropriate or impossible;

striving to ensure that any damage caused in this case was minimal;

provision of first aid to persons who have received bodily injuries;

report on command on the use of special means;

compliance with the established safety measures when handling special means;

in a state of necessary defense or extreme necessity, servicemen, in the absence of special means, have the right to use any available means for the indicated purposes;

physical force, including fighting techniques, is used to overcome opposition to legal requirements if non-violent methods do not ensure the fulfillment of the duties assigned to employees.

The limits of the use of special tools:

a) the use of special means is allowed only when fulfilling obligations to protect the state border of the Russian Federation and within the border territory;

b) the prohibition of the use of special means in relation to persons who have violated the regime of the State Border, the border regime or the regime at checkpoints across the State Border of the Russian Federation, if these actions were committed clearly by accident or in connection with an accident, the influence of the irresistible forces of nature, as well as in in relation to women with visible signs of pregnancy, persons with obvious signs of disability and minors, except for cases when they commit an attack or offer resistance threatening the life and health of military personnel and citizens of the Russian Federation participating on a voluntary basis in the defense of the state border of the Russian Federation within the border territory.

In the course of work on this paragraph, we examined the procedure for the use of special means by FSB officers, dividing it into components and giving a detailed description of each of the elements.

Summing up the paragraph, we can conclude that we have given a concept of the procedure for the use of weapons and special means by employees of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, have examined and described in detail the features of all elements of this area of ​​activity of FSB employees.

Conclusion

Summing up the work done, it should be noted that we carried out a comprehensive study in the area of ​​such a sphere of activity of the employees of the Federal Security Service of Russia as the use of weapons and special means. Summarizing the results of the work done, we can assert that the use and use of weapons and special means by FSB officers is a measure of state coercion.

In the first part of the course work, we focused on the study of normative legal material, namely, the legal framework regarding the use of weapons and special means by FSB officers. Here were given the main legal acts regulating this field of activity, both at the level of law and at the level of a by-law normative legal act, they were given a characteristic.

The powers to use and use weapons and military equipment in the protection and protection of the State Border are contained in the law of the Russian Federation "On the State Border of the Russian Federation" and Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 3, 1998 No. 20 "On Approving the Procedure for the Use of Weapons and Military Equipment in Defense State Border of the Russian Federation ", adopted in compliance with the law of the Russian Federation" On the State Border of the Russian Federation "and regulate the cases, conditions and procedure for the use of weapons in the defense of the State Border of the Russian Federation.

Summarizing the features of the normative regulation of the use of weapons and military equipment, in the legislation of the Russian Federation, the legal framework should be understood as a set of rules that determine the circumstances in the presence of which the use of weapons is lawful. We believe that under the procedure for the use of weapons, elements of the legal framework should be distinguished:

Grounds (cases) of the use of weapons

Conditions for the use of weapons

The actual procedure for using weapons

The limits of the use of weapons

The circumstances, with the occurrence of which the legislator considers the use of weapons possible, are interpreted as cases (grounds) of the use of weapons. As a rule, they are the result of active unlawful actions of individuals, dangerous behavior of an animal and are decisive for making a decision on how to influence the offender.

Within the meaning of Article 35 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On the State Border of the Russian Federation", the following are distinguished as circumstances, namely, cases that give rise to the right to use weapons and military equipment:

armed invasion of the territory of the Russian Federation;

hijacking vehicles abroad;

crossing the State Border by persons and vehicles in violation of the established rules;

attack on citizens, etc.

In order to implement the provisions of the Law of the Russian Federation "On the State Border of the Russian Federation" of the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 8, 1998 No. 20, an order was issued by the Director of the Frontier Service of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation "On the announcement of the Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 3, 1998 No. 20" approval of the Procedure for the use of weapons and military equipment in the protection of the State Border of the Russian Federation "and approval of the rules for the production of warning shots and the use of weapons and military equipment by military personnel of the bodies and troops of the Federal Border Service of the Russian Federation while protecting the State Border of the Russian Federation."

These rules determine that "employees (military personnel) ... have the right to fire warning shots and use weapons. For example, the Rules provide, as grounds for the use of weapons and the production of warning shots, the following cases;

counteraction to legal requirements for compliance with the established rules of the State Border regime, border regime, regime at checkpoints across the State Border and ensuring their own security;

detention of persons in respect of whom there are sufficient grounds to believe that they intend to provide armed resistance:

illegal changes in the passage of the State Border line on the ground.

An important role in recognizing the actions of representatives of the authorities, namely, employees of the Federal Security Service, who use weapons as lawful regardless of the illegal socially dangerous actions of an individual, threatening the behavior of an animal, that is, those that are external to the conflict, form the conditions for the use of weapons.

There are two groups of conditions. The first group of conditions for the use of weapons should include those that arise and exist independently of the will of the opposing parties, and the second group should include the circumstances generated by the active volitional actions of a representative of the authorities, the fulfillment of which is provided for by the rule of law and is one of the guarantees of the legality of causing harm to the offender.

Within the meaning of the legislation, the first group of conditions for the use of weapons and military equipment in the protection of the State Border of the Russian Federation includes:

a) conditions allowing application:

absence of passengers in vehicles when trying to steal them;

the use of weapons is allowed only within the border area;

the inability to stop the violation or detain persons violating the established rules using other means;

performance of official duties or public duty, etc.

b) conditions precluding application:

random nature of crossing the State Border;

accident;

gender and age of the attackers, etc.

For employees of the Federal Security Service, such conditions for the use of weapons, prescribed in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as circumstances that cause a state of necessary defense and extreme necessity, are also of great importance.

Most legislation uses the term "order" to indicate the rules that must be followed before and after the use of a weapon. For employees of the Border Service of the Federal Security Service, in particular, this procedure is established in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 3, 1998 No. 20. Outwardly expressed manifestations of conditions, in the sense of the above-mentioned decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, are:

a) committed before the use of weapons:

obtaining permission to use weapons (in the event that a representative of the authorities does not have the right to use weapons on his own);

informing the person against whom the weapon can be used about the official position of the official;

a clear and specific statement of the requirement, with non-fulfillment of which the possibility of using firearms is associated (depending on the circumstances, the requirements may take the form of gestures with hands and weapons);

production of a warning about the application of this coercive measure. A warning, depending on the circumstances, can be expressed by gestures, words and warning shots;

providing the person to whom the warning is addressed sufficient time to perform lawful actions;

b) committed after the use of weapons:

provision of first aid to injured persons;

protection of the scene;

report on the fact of the use of weapons and its results;

informing in some cases relatives and victims;

notification of the prosecutor in case of injury or death of people.

Another element that constitutes the legal framework is the limits of the use of weapons. The limits should be understood as the rules that establish the boundaries of the permissible actions of officials to harm the offender.

In the legislation defining the powers of employees and servicemen of the Border Guard Service of the Federal Security Service in the use of weapons, the term "limits" is not used, but legal restrictions are established. Several limits of restrictions are seen.

The first limit of restrictions is by territory. For example, paragraph 1 of Article 35 of the RF Law "On the State Border of the RF" defines the permissible use of weapons within the border area. However, part 3 of article 30 of this law provides for the possible use of the granted rights outside the border territory in cases of border searches and operations of FSB officers in the border territory.

The second limit of restrictions is on time. In most cases, weapons by FSB officers during the performance of their duties to protect and guard the State Border of the Russian Federation.

The third limit of restrictions is on the subjects of use. There are three categories of such subjects:

persons with reduced physical capabilities (women, minors)

passengers of air, sea, river vessels and other vehicles

persons who crossed the State Border by accident or as a result of an accident.

The fourth limit is in terms of the amount of harm caused. The legislator calls on the employees of the Federal Security Service to strive to ensure that any damage caused when eliminating the danger is minimal. This requirement is very relevant, as it follows from the constitutional provisions on the highest value of human life and health. In many ways, this provision on minimizing harm is absorbed by the norms of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on necessary defense.

In this paragraph, we conducted a systematic review of the procedure for the use of weapons by the FSB of the Russian Federation, gave reasons for the use of weapons by the FSB of Russia, and found out in what cases it can be used. Based on the references of the legislation, we carried out a detailed analysis of the powers of the employees of the Federal Security Service bodies in the use of weapons.
