Explanation:

Although the recent decision of the court has not been popularly accepted, it is necessary to take into account that democracy seeks to ensure the good of society in general. Even though,  on this occasion the majority have not agreed with the decision, it does benefit the society in a majority way, since it intends to work directly taking into account the rights of suspected criminals. In this case, the court has taken into account the provisions of the constitution to reach that agreement, which is considered a democratic act due to the fact that,  it will bring a positive impact within society based in constitutional approaches.
