Summary/Abstract: The notion of „security" made a tremendous career during the last decade. ,,The citizen's security" was traditionally viewed as the activity of public authorities opposing threats for public policy, citizens' life, health and property as well as countering all activities causing damage to those goods, coming from the interior and exterior of the country. An administrative entity directly responsible for the internal security is the police. Nowadays, the respect for human rights is a significant criterion for evaluating public administration. Experience shows that the police violate those rights. One of the reasons for this state of affairs is the specific devaluation of the idea of human rights in modern democracies.
