Articles of Law No. 13.407/2003, of the Disciplinary Code of State Military, pointed out in the decision as transgressed are the Art. 8th, items XV, XXVII and XXVIII and the Art. 13th §1º, item X . These articles deal with:
- Ensure the good name of the military institution and its components.
- Observe the rules of good education and discretion in attitudes, ways and in written or spoken language.
- Do not request advertising or provoke it for your own personal promotion .
- Publish, disseminate or contribute to the unrestricted disclosure of facts, documents or administrative matters or technicians of a military or judicial nature, which may compete for the discredit of the Military Corporation .
The defense of the military police received the decision with surprise, considering it a “Interpretive misconception and excess rigor” because the conduct practiced would not fit into transgressed disciplinary rules.
About the process
The PM General Command reported that an inquiry was opened to investigate the case, resulting in the disciplinary sanction, and that the process “It had broad defense and contradictory, and still has a deadline for appeal running” as provided for in the Disciplinary Code. The defense confirmed that it had submitted an administrative appeal to the corporation’s command on April 8, requesting the annulment of punishment.
Mayara Kelly’s defense had already been the target of a Military Police Inquiry (IPM) in 2022 by a post on Instagram Stories, accused of “Failure to comply with law, regulation or instruction” . However, the Military Public Prosecution Service (MPM) He requested the filing of the case for not identifying legal infraction, which was accepted by the court. The defense considers current punishment as further evidence of persecution since 2022 .
Criminal lawyer Rafael Paiva opined on the case, and understands that there was rigor by the Ceará Military Police in the application of the administrative penalty.
“Although we know that the military scope is filled with rules of behavior that are necessary for the execution of a good job, the videos recorded and published by the military police are not affront or dishonorable to the corporation,” says the criminalist.
Rafael Paiva analyzes that the type of content produced by the soldier, in fact, should be encouraged by the corporation. The practice is adopted on a large scale, and is no longer an “exception” in times of social networks.
“In fact, it is either videos of approaching the population with the police, or are videos of public interest, which should, in my view, be encouraged, not the subject of punishment. In this particular case, I conclude that there was a great punitivist effort of the corporation, not seeming that the articles imputed to the military police have really been violated,” says Paiva.
What the policeman says
The defense argues that the video teaching how to make a tourniquet public utility with informative and educational purpose, based on the police experience of the police with his brother, also a military police officer, who survived a bullet wound thanks to a tourniquet. The second video, showing Mayara washing the car, would aim praise women’s work in military police And demonstrate her protagonism, as she was a driver and had the responsibility to deliver the clean vehicle at the end of the service.
The police lawyer says the videos do not configure transgression because there was no publication of facts, documents or administrative affairs that could harm the institution. He also claims that there were no criticism of superiors or disclosure of internal information, sensitive police techniques or documents that could cause harm.
In addition, the defense maintains that Mayara did not hurt the good name of the institution, maintained the good education in her videos and did not seek personal promotion, as she had social networks before joining the corporation in 2017 and her networks are not monetized.
The defense also mentions that the command of the corporation seems to disregard interministerial ordinance No. 2/2010, which establishes guidelines for the valorization of dignity, freedom of expression and social image of public security professionals. It also claims a Break of isonomy And unequal treatment, as other male police would make similar videos without being punished.
