The use of special means is the utilization of permitted types of special means by employees of internal affairs bodies to eliminate offenses and crimes in cases where the application of administrative restrictive measures up to the use of physical force does not yield results. Legal scholar A.M. Silnikov, based on the purpose of using these means, divided special means into two categories: active defense and means for ensuring special operations1, while A.M. Aripov distinguished types of special means according to the situation of their application, such as water-dispersing, armored vehicles, active means, distracting, destructive, and other types2. Employees of internal affairs bodies may use special means only on the following grounds: – to repel an attack on the employee himself or others; – to stop offenses and resistance to the employee, as well as to identify persons committing or having committed crimes and administrative offenses; – when detecting a criminal in the act of committing a crime or immediately after committing it, as well as attempting to hide; – in the process of detaining a person who may offer armed resistance; – when escorting, guarding, and 1 Сильников А.М.

Although the law prohibits the use of special means, including gas and damaging weapons, at mass events conducted peacefully, without interfering with anyone, but illegally, as well as striking the head, neck, clavicle, abdomen, genitals, and heart area with a rubber baton, and using water- striking machines when the air temperature is below zero degrees, there are no instructions regarding the use of electric shock devices. Politician scholar D. Rejali, who conducted research on this topic, noted that application to certain parts of the body is painful3, T. Smith4, J. Hewitt noted that the effect of electric shock depends on the target's resistance, skin type, moisture, salinity in the body, clothing, the internal circuit of the electric shock weapon, the shape of the charge wave, and the battery condition5, according to data from the U.S. Police Research Organization, using electric shock for more than 15 seconds can lead to the risk of death, and there are many cases of burns from electric shock and injuries from falling unconscious6. In Canadian legislation, technical requirements and restrictions on the use of electric shock weapons have been introduced, according to which they can be used to stop a real aggression of an offender against another person, to detain a person, to prevent self-harm and committing a crime, and it is stipulated to call a doctor after using electric shock7. Based on the above, it is expedient to introduce into legislation the following strict requirements for the use of electric shock means, namely, to supplement Article 23 (Use of special means) Part 6 of Chapter 5 of the Law of the Republic of 3 Rejali D.

Date: 30th December 2025 Website: https://eglobalcongress.com/index.php/egc ISSN (E): 2836-3612 45 | P a g e Uzbekistan "On Internal Affairs Bodies" dated September 16, 2016, with the third paragraph as follows: Electric shock devices may not be used in the following cases: in rainy, humid, and frozen environmental weather conditions; in areas where fuel substances are stored and in flammable environments; near electrical networks and high-voltage equipment; in dense crowds and in public transport; against persons with heart or nervous system diseases; against persons standing at height or near a cliff; in moving vehicles or against drivers; in areas where gaseous or flammable or explosive chemical substances are stored; continuous application to the offender for more than 5 seconds; repeated application without a 5-minute break after use. Regarding the material and technical aspects of equipping with electric shock means, in 2022-2024, despite the number of electric shocks at the disposal of the Public Security Service of the Public Security Department increasing by 118.5 percent, it is sufficient to equip only 47.35 percent of the personnel of the Public Security Service8. Therefore, applying the experience of countries such as the Czech Republic9, Finland10, New Zealand11, Malaysia12, it is expedient to fully equip all employees of internal affairs bodies directly engaged in maintaining public order with electric shock devices.
