Couple rekindles relationship and ends up at police station after PM approach; find out more
Couple was stopped during Operation Cidade Segura on Ernesto Vilela Avenue; woman reported that she had resumed the relationship.
A military police investigation has identified a possible case of non-compliance with a protective measure in Ponta Grossa during the night of Friday (13). The incident was recorded at Avenida Ernesto Vilela, in the Boa Vista neighborhood, when police officers of the 1st Military Police Battalion (1st BPM) boarded a vehicle occupied by a couple during the Operação Cidade Segura.
The approach took place around 19:57, during traffic control actions carried out in the region. When checking the driver’s documentation and the administrative conditions of the vehicle, the police identified irregularities, including the suspension of the driver’s right to drive.
During the consultation with the integrated public safety systems, the team found the existence of an emergency protective measure in favor of the passenger, having the driver himself as the person against whom the judicial determination had been issued.
The couple had resumed their relationship.
According to the Military Police bulletin, the woman informed the officers that she and the driver had re-established the relationship in a consensual way, resuming coexistence.
However, according to the records consulted by the police, the judicial determination remained in force at the time of the approach. Given this situation, the team considered it necessary to refer those involved to the police station for evaluation by the police authority.
The case was presented to the 13th Police Subdivision of Ponta Grossa, responsible for the proper procedures and the analysis of the circumstances related to the protective measure.
According to the PM, the routing took place peacefully, without resistance from those involved and without the need for the use of handcuffs or the use of force.
What does the Law of Maria da Penha say?
The non-compliance with emergency protective measures is provided for in article 24-A of Law No. 11.340/2006, known as the Maria da Penha Law.
The measures are determined by the Court with the aim of protecting people in situations of domestic and family violence. Among the possible restrictions are the prohibition of approach and contact with the protected person.
Reconciliation between the parties does not automatically revoke an existing protective measure. However, decisions of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ) recognize that the free consent of the protected person can be relevant to assessing whether there has been an effective practice of the crime of non-compliance.
Therefore, the existence of a current court order and the resumption of the relationship need to be analyzed according to the circumstances of each case.
In the occurrence recorded in Ponta Grossa, the Military Police carried out the referral to the police authority to ascertain the facts.
Until the information available in the register, there was no confirmation of any arrest in flagrante or other decisions adopted after the presentation of the involved to the Civil Police.
