This could have been expected for a long time. According to information distributed by the Mash telegram channel, traffic police officers in Moscow received an unspoken order from their superiors to search for unmanned aerial vehicles in cars stopped for document control. Having discovered such a device, the inspector will have to impose on the driver, if not an interrogation, then at least an interrogation with prejudice. To find out what kind of device it is, why the driver needs it, where he transports it and for what purpose.
At the same time, military personnel are tasked with studying the detected drones for non-standard design changes and upgrades. If the seen and heard explanation does not satisfy the traffic officer, the driver will be arrested and taken to the police station together with the UAV for further investigation.
There is a strong suspicion that the vast majority of traffic police officers are by no means experts in the field of drones. And they are unlikely to be able to distinguish, say, a quadcopter converted to drop ammunition from its counterpart used in such a purely peaceful area as terrain mapping. Therefore, “nearby” will most likely send absolutely all owners of flying devices. To be sure. According to the principle: “they will work it out.”
That’s why even having a kid’s quadcopter with you now, and even more openly keeping it in the car, is asking for trouble and losing you precious hours and minutes trying to sort things out with the police.
The times we have now are frankly paramilitary, which is why the sight of even such a peaceful device as a harpoon gun could very well cause a particularly nervous traffic police officer to have an acute bout of anti-terrorism vigilance. With all the consequences for the driver in the form of a gloom, in all its stupidity and senselessness, of a conversation with a soldier on the subject: “Are you sure you’re only going to shoot fish”? Well, on a pneumatic “barrel”, especially if its appearance copies the model of a real weapon, now in general any police officer will “rise”, not just a traffic cop.
Yes, and lovers of traumatic weapons, including officially registered weapons, should now “shine” them less in the presence of police, including traffic police. After all, when the security forces catch terrorists around the world, the chips “fly” with terrible force.
