Police authority detention of persons according to the law for the protection of public order during conduct of sport events

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the general characteristics and the legal regulation of the anti-social manifestation "sports hooliganism" and the police power "detention of persons for a period of up to twenty-four hours", as well as the legal provisions related to the possibility of applying this police authority under Article 30, paragraph 2 of the Law on the Protection of Public Order at sporting events. The legal grounds and the purpose of using the coercive measure are compared with the related ones provided for in the Decree on combating petty hooliganism. A detailed analysis is made of the substantive prerequisites and purpose referred to in the law, the existence of which, taken together, is the sole legal basis for the application of police detention under the Law on the Protection of Public Order at Sports Events. The correct formulation of these in law and in fact in the individual administrative act issued in connection with the using of the authority (detention order) constitutes a guarantee of legality in the exercise of this coercive measure, which is important in terms of securing the administrative and criminal procedure in the case of certain more serious offences.
