Emergency Doctrine
The "Emergency Doctrine" is a legal principle that allows individuals to take necessary actions in urgent situations to prevent harm or danger. This doctrine recognizes that in emergencies, there may not be enough time to seek permission or follow standard procedures. It aims to protect those who act in good faith to address immediate threats.
Under the Emergency Doctrine, actions taken must be reasonable and proportional to the situation. This principle is often applied in various fields, including law enforcement, medical response, and disaster management, ensuring that individuals can respond effectively when time is of the essence.
