The present paper presents an effort to understand the morals that are involved when the military police officer approaches the user of drugs and does not take him to the police station in order to register. In addition, it discusses one of the investigative techniques practiced by the military police, which is the use of "X-9", seen as a "partnership relationship" with informants. After the implementation of law 11.343 / 06, there was a greater number of registrations in the police stations in relation to the traffic and a reduction in the registers of possession and use, which characterizes users. However, decreasing numbers of records does not mean that the approaches taken by military police to drug users have been reduced, since criminal procedures remain the same. And the law is constantly updated by operators.
