  5. Understand the concept of Poder de Polícia in administrative law

    Poder de Polícia is one of the six administrative powers in administrative law (alongside normative, hierarchical, disciplinary, bound, and discretionary powers). According to Hely Lopes Meirelles, it is the faculty that allows the public administration to condition and restrict the use and enjoyment of assets, activities, and individual rights for the benefit of the community or the State itself. Its legal foundation is the principle of the supremacy of public interest, meaning that public interest prevails over private interest.
