“Any unilateral and extra-judicial act by law enforcement bodies contravenes the elementary norms of the law.”
— Vladimir Putin
Simplified Meaning:
When police or any other law enforcement group take action on their own without following proper legal procedures, they are going against basic legal rules. Think about it like this: if a referee in a soccer game suddenly decides to change the rules in the middle of the game without consulting anyone, it wouldn't be fair to the players who are following the official rules. Similarly, law enforcement needs to follow established legal processes to ensure justice is fair and transparent. For instance, if police arrest someone without a warrant or without reading their rights, they are breaking the law themselves. People can apply this understanding by knowing their rights and ensuring that any actions by law enforcement are done legally and fairly to protect everyone's freedom and justice.
