Administrative Police, The Conceptual Context for Securing Public Order: A Study of French Notion of Public order

The Administrative police, known as a function for securing public order, represent a double conflictual face. Regarding Freedoms, the notion may be understood as restrictive as well as supportive by providing an appropriate context for the exercise of the constitutional rights and freedoms through securing public order. In French liberal society, accepting that freedom with no order would lead to anarchy, the judicial procedure plays a significant role in defining public order and consequently the frame in which the powers of police should be exercised. Nowadays, there’s no debate in accepting public security, public health, and public tranquility as traditional elements of public order, which can provoke the Administration’s responsibility in case of police deficiency. In recent years, a sort of order based on values is appeared. Incarnated in human dignity, the immaterial order allows police to interfere for saving public morality in case of special circumstances.
