New Guidelines for Inspection Are Now in Effect and Change the Way Checkpoints Must Be Conducted in the State of Rio de Janeiro

The Legislative Assembly of Rio approved important changes to the rules governing police checkpoints.
The new law . signed by Governor Cláudio Castro this Tuesday, July 22, includes strict guidelines to ensure greater transparency.
It also aims to ensure legal security and respect for the rights of drivers.
The measure requires, among other points, that operations be properly identified.
In addition, they must have technical support and comply with clear protocols.

Changes Reinforce Legality and Limit Abusive Approaches

The main novelty established by Law 10.281/24 is the mandatory clear identification of the operation.
This includes visible signs with the name of the involved corporation, procedure number, date, time, and location of the action.
Additionally, inspections can only occur with technical backing or explicit order from the head of the institution.
With this, attempts are made to avoid arbitrary operations without legal justification.

The new rule also prevents the automatic seizure of inspected vehicles.

Technical Inspection Becomes a Mandatory Requirement

Another highlight of the signed legislation is the need for technical justification to initiate a checkpoint.
For an operation to occur, it will be necessary to prove, through reports or internal documents, the relevance of the action.
With this, the goal is to avoid that approaches take place for convenience, without objective criteria.

Additionally, the law provides that the commands of the institutions must be held accountable for acts that violate the norm.
This direct accountability reinforces the commitment to legality and institutional control.
It prevents abuses that may harm citizens.

Body Cameras and Detailed Reports Are Highlighted

The legislation also reinforces the importance of transparency.
To that end, it establishes that checkpoints are, preferably, filmed by body cameras attached to the agents’ uniforms.
Whenever possible, the use of footage should be incorporated into the inspection process.
This practice ensures greater protection for both public servants and citizens being stopped.

Another important item is the mandatory production of a post-operation report.
The document must detail the number of approaches, the number of detained vehicles, and other technical details of the action.
This will allow for subsequent control of operations and strengthen internal and external oversight of the actions taken.

Law Takes Effect with Support from Entities and Drivers

The new legislation came into effect immediately after publication in the Official Gazette.
Since then, it has guided drivers and authorities on new procedures.
Additionally, it was built based on proposals discussed in Alerj throughout the first semester.
Meanwhile, entities like Detran-RJ, the Public Defender’s Office, and the Public Ministry contributed with suggestions for a fairer approach.
Therefore, drivers and associations praised the measure, considering it a step forward in relations with security agents.
With this, the State aims to restore trust in inspections on the streets of Rio de Janeiro.
