inspection and sanction. Then, it examines the position of the doctrine regarding the
delegation of police power, presented in two moments: classic doctrine and new perspectives
of delegation of police power. Afterwards, an examination of the jurisprudence of the
Superior Court of Justice and the Supreme Federal Court, focusing on the BHTRANS case. It
demonstrates that it is possible to delegate police power to individuals, provided that certain
requirements are observed. Then, it goes on to analyze the application of the police force in
rotating car parks in general. In conclusion, it carries out the case study of the police
application in the rotating parking lots in Palmas, in the state of Tocantins. In the end, it
concludes that there was delegation of police power and that this delegation is at variance
