Many European laws and methods, unusual and incomprehensible to us, surprise and even cause laughter. For example, in some police cars of the Old World there are two plungers in the trunk at once – the very ones that have saved from blockades since the days of developed socialism. So what, “Eurocops” also took on plumbing duties?
It’s hot in Europe. While the inhabitants of central Russia hide from the rain and sleep under two blankets, one of which is made of cotton, asphalt in the Old World melts and the last gas is burned for electricity for air conditioners. However, this weather phenomenon does not prevent Europeans from drawing more attention from services to their cars, breaking one of the most incompatible laws.
The fact is that it is impossible to leave a child, pets and not so pets in the car. Never. And especially in the summer, when the vehicle body heats up to unprecedented temperatures, creating a spacious analogue of an oven inside. The police nowadays keep a close eye on parked cars and if they see a violation, they immediately take action. However, unlike the United States, no one in Europe will break glass – private property.
For this, the police are taught to open windows in a “harmless” way – with a suction cup or the same plunger, which not only perfectly copes with the task, but also has a comfortable handle. Truly a unique item. Like the teapot.
Two plungers “suck” the glass – one in the middle, the other a little higher – and apply pressure to it with the whole body weight. The electric window controls – and “oars” that cannot be found with fire in Europe during the day – give way and allow you to lower the glass slightly. The resulting opening is enough to put your hand in, open the door and check the status of those trapped in the cabin. Well, just wait for the owners to issue a fine.
It’s funny, but this method is almost never used in Russia: firstly, it is not easy and long, because for â…” of the year it is cool and damp outside, the piston will not tighten properly, and secondly, there is a much easier way. At a well-known Chinese flea market, an inflatable pillow made of dense material is sold at a very reasonable price, which is inflated with a simple manual pear pump.
The car is not a submarine: a thin gap between the door and the opening is enough to push it through and, painlessly for the metal, make a hole sufficient for dense wire. Well, then it’s a matter of technology: they lift the “soldier” from the central locking with a wire, or pull the handle. “Wicket” opens in 10 minutes with two smoke breaks. Ah, the Europeans, the village!
