Inviolabilidade de domicílio e critério temporal na atuação policial: Alinhamento jurisprudencial e repercussões para a Polícia Militar de Alagoas (PMAL)

Description

Bruno Acioly Coutinho, writing alone, analyzes the time rules that govern police entry into homes in Brazil, and what they mean for the Alagoas military police. The constitution protects the home, allowing entry under a court warrant or in narrow cases without one. Coutinho reads the constitutional text, the criminal procedure code, a 2019 abuse-of-authority law, and rulings of the two high courts, updated to August 2026.

Recent case law fixed the hours for serving home warrants to a daytime window running from early morning to evening. That change, he finds, did not widen the cases where police may enter without a warrant; it made the time requirement easier to check and enforce. Entry without a warrant stays bound to strict conditions. For police governance, the ruling turns timing into a point of proof that officers and commanders must plan around.
