In life, you need to be ready for any situation. Let's say you walk down the street and see someone being beaten. What to do?
If you step in and help the victim, it can make you both a hero and a prisoner. For example, the Novosibirsk businessman faces 8 years in prison for standing up for the girl.
How to act correctly in such a situation will tell the leading lawyer of the European legal service Maxim Bekanov:
First of all, it is necessary for oneself to draw a conclusion whether the actions of a person are a violation of the law and what consequences we can prevent by our intervention. This is a fundamental point.
For example, if you see a guy beating up a girl, the answer is clear: Yes, it's a violation of the law. Regardless of what kind of relationship she has with a young man, violence is applied to her.
Next, you need to assess how quickly your intervention is required and whether it is necessary at all. And depending on it to make the decision: at first to call police or to leave it for later as the victim needs to be rescued immediately.
When contacting the police, it is important to specifically describe the situation and provide the address of the scene. The dispatcher who receives the call, in any case, is obliged to call the police squad.
If you do have to intervene, you need to understand that when you protect someone, the same legal rules apply as in self-defense. According to the criminal code and administrative Code, your actions will not be considered a crime or an administrative offense if they correspond to the degree and nature of the threat, as well as if it was impossible to stop the aggressor in another way.
According to Maxim Bakanova, the actions of the defender are assessed individually and comprehensively, taking into account the following circumstances:
- what encroachment is prevented and what is its public danger;
- was it necessary to intervene;
- what did the defender do;
- whether these actions are admissible and whether there were alternatives;
- what are the parameters of the participants of the fight (weight, age, height);
- whether the weapon or improvised objects were used;
- how many trespassers were there;
- other conditions.
At the same time, there are no universal ways of behavior to save a person and not to become a victim of the incident. Too much does not depend on you. Stand out are cases where the victim testifies against his Savior to protect the attacker. You can help out witnesses or video of what is happening.
However, if you decide to pre-remove the process of attack on the smartphone, it may be that there is no one to save.
