Dichas labores implican un riesgo real para su integridad física y su vida, al enfrentar delincuencia relacionada con caza, pesca y tala ilegales, infracciones a la ley de vida silvestre, narcotráfico y el uso de armas. La magistrada disidente argumenta que, en virtud de los principios constitucionales de igualdad e igualdad salarial, debe reconocérseles el plus salarial por riesgo policial, en equiparación a otros funcionarios que realizan tareas de similar peligrosidad. El voto mayoritario no acogió esta posición, pero este criterio disidente plantea una interpretación extensiva del concepto de función policial ligada a la protección ambiental.", "summary_en": "This dissenting vote argues that park rangers, although not formally classified as police officers, perform substantive police duties by monitoring and protecting the nation's natural resources. These duties entail a real risk to their physical integrity and lives, as they face crimes such as illegal hunting, fishing, logging, wildlife law violations, drug trafficking, and armed encounters. The dissenting magistrate contends that, based on the constitutional principles of equality and equal pay, they should be granted the police-risk salary supplement, equating them with other officials performing similarly hazardous tasks. The majority ruling did not adopt this position, but this dissenting opinion proposes an expansive interpretation of the police-function concept linked to environmental protection.", "court_or_agency": "", "date": "", "year": "", "topic_ids": [ "_off-topic" ], "primary_topic_id": "_off-topic", "es_concept_hints": [ "guardaparques", "riesgo policial", "plus salarial", "voto salvado", "igualdad salarial", "principio de igualdad", "servicios ecosistémicos" ], "concept_anchors": [], "keywords_es": [ "guardaparques", "riesgo policial", "plus salarial", "igualdad salarial", "principio de igualdad", "funciones policiales", "protección ambiental", "caza ilegal", "tala ilegal", "voto salvado" ], "keywords_en": [ "park rangers", "police risk", "salary supplement", "equal pay", "equality principle", "police functions", "environmental protection", "illegal hunting", "illegal logging", "dissenting vote" ], "excerpt_es": "Quien salva el voto considera que, a pesar de no estar formalmente en una plaza catalogada como policía, los guarda parques realizan funciones policiales (consistentes en vigilar los bienes de la nación, concretamente los recursos naturales) que ponen en riesgo la integridad física y hasta la vida (nótese que debe enfrentar delincuencia variada, como caza, pesca y tala ilegales, infracciones a la ley de vida silvestre, narcotráfico, y utilización de armas) por lo que se le ha de reconocer el plus por riesgo policial, con fundamento en los principios de igualdad e igualdad salarial, de rango constitucional.", "excerpt_en": "The dissenting voter considers that, despite not being formally in a position classified as police, park rangers perform police functions (consisting of guarding the nation's assets, specifically natural resources) that put their physical integrity and even their lives at risk (note that they must confront various forms of crime, such as illegal hunting, fishing, and logging, wildlife law violations, drug trafficking, and the use of weapons).
