Based on an analysis of the contemporary reality of military police officers, particularly those directly combating crime, this article examines the civil liability of bad-faith complainants against security agents, viewed through the lens of the 1988 Federal Constitution and Sérgio Cavalieri Filho’s theory of abuse of rights. The objective is to emphasize the importance of compensation for moral damages as a legal protection tool for Military Police of Amazonas (PMAM) professionals, who are frequently vulnerable to "lawfare" tactics employed by offenders within a complex public security landscape in the state of Amazonas. Using a deductive methodology and bibliographic review, it is observed that the reckless initiation of disciplinary proceedings harms the dignity of the military officer and administrative efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of criminal and pecuniary punishment for the slanderer fosters a "chilling effect" among the troops. It is concluded that civil compensation holds an indispensable pedagogical nature for safeguarding the public servant's honor and public order in the State.
