Heonjae "It is unconstitutional for a 'water cannon shot directly to a farmer in the Baeknamgi period ...

In November 2015, the Constitutional Court ruled that the police's direct act of spying against the late Baek Nam-gi farmer was against the Constitution.

The Constitutional Court made an unconstitutional decision in the case of the Constitutional Court of Appeals, claiming that the families of Baek were "indirectly violating the right to life and their grounds," against the Seoul Metropolitan Police Commissioner, who ordered direct acts of direct killing.

The late Paik Nam-gi, a farmer, died on September 25, 2015, after attending a rally in the People's Gunfire in Jongno, Seoul.

At that time, the police directly fired water cannons toward Baek's head, and it was found that those who approached to rescue the fallen Baek continued to shoot water cannons for about 20 seconds.

The lawyers meeting for a democratic society on behalf of the survivors said, "The regulations regarding the direct acts of water spree, the police officers' enforcement law, the standards for the use of risk police equipment, and the police equipment management rules, etc. Infringement of freedom and others. "

In response, the Constitutional Court determined that the direct act of direct shooting violated Baek's basic right to life and freedom of assembly.

He said, "Since direct water is fired directly into the protesters so that the stream is in a straight line, it can have a fatal effect on life and body."

It was judged that it was difficult to say that there was a danger to life or the body or the danger of property and public facilities that needed to be suppressed through direct watering.

He also said, “At the rally, there was a situation where direct watering aimed at the upper part of the demonstrator's chest continued to cause human injury. I needed to order. ”

In addition, while Baek alone had little or little public benefit to gain by suppressing the act of pulling the rope tied to the police maneuvering bus through direct sprinkling, Baek also met the balance of legal interests because he had died from direct spying. I couldn't do it. "
