👉 The doctrine weapon, also known as the "doctrine of necessity," is a legal principle that allows individuals or entities to justify actions that would otherwise be illegal if those actions are necessary to prevent a greater harm or to achieve an essential objective, such as self-defense or protecting the public. This doctrine operates under the premise that the ends justify the means, and in extreme circumstances, taking measures that are typically prohibited can be legally defensible if they prevent a more significant injustice or danger. However, it is applied cautiously and typically requires a high degree of urgency and proportionality to ensure that the means used are indeed necessary and not excessive.
