Manifestações contra as normas de trânsito injustas e as de risco: desobediência civil? / Manifestations against injust and risk transit rules: civil disobedience?

Abstract

It deals with the analysis of disobedience to unjust traffic rules and those of risk. Of particular note are the characterizing elements of Michael Walzer's civil disobedience as an act of group or collective act, against a law or policy and not against the state, for very strong moral or political reasons, the existence of publicity and non-violence, being that these acts may be different from the contested norm, and may be classified as indirect civil disobedience. Unjust traffic rules and risk traffic rules are those relating to the installation of speed reducing equipment in hazardous locations, those requiring toxicology examination and those dealing with the circulation of bicycles on the edges of the running track. We use the bibliographical research and the concepts of justice in John Rawls and of risk in Rafaelle de Giorgi. It follows that the disobedience to these traffic rules occurs through protests blocking vehicular or pedestrian traffic, like indirect civil disobedience and they possess the elements characterizing of the civil disobedience in Michael Walzer
