Many car owners were confronted with the fact that the traffic police fined them for offenses that citizens do not commit. The situation looks even more cynical if we consider that Russian law does not provide for any punishment for an employee of the “authorities” who has wrongly punished an innocent person. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the initiative of a group of Duma deputies who decided to achieve justice on the roads.

Several deputies of the Duma of the LDPR, along with three senators of the Federation Council (10 people in total), propose to add a new article to the “automotive” chapter (12th) of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Unlike others, it does not apply to road users, but to traffic cops who issue fines for traffic violations. The bill implies the introduction of Article 12.38 in the Code – “Illegal bringing the owner (owner) of the vehicle under administrative responsibility”.

She says that “forwarding to a citizen … a decision on an administrative offense that … has not been committed – involves the imposition of an administrative fine on the official who signed the decision on the administrative offense in the amount of the administrative offense imposed.” fine, but not less than 5,000 rubles.”

The article states that this procedure only applies to decisions drawn up using automatic violation detection. The amount of 5,000 rubles, apparently, appeared because it corresponds to the maximum fine for a driver for a violation registered in automatic mode.

– Most of the wrong decisions car owners complain about are made with materials from automatic recording cameras and reach people in the form of so-called lucky letters. Motorists usually do not even try to appeal, as the total cost of this process, as a rule, significantly exceeds the amount of the fine itself. Our bill aims to ensure that responsible officials approach the process of issuing criminal warrants more carefully,” Yaroslav Nilov, head of the State Duma Committee on Labor and Social Policy, one of the bill’s authors, told the AvtoVzglyad- portal.

As practice shows, most of even the most sensible and urgent bills tabled by Liberal Democratic Party deputies in the State Duma are safely “buried” by the United Russia majority there. But then the elect of the “power party” without a shadow of shame submit their own bills to the State Duma with exactly the same content. Who naturally find the full support of representatives of the same party.

This happened, for example, in the story of “nice numbers”. We should therefore not be surprised if the draft law on the punishment of traffic officers for wrongful fines by the “United Russia” of the Duma is now unanimously rejected. And after a while one of them will introduce it to the Duma as their personal idea – in a slightly edited form.

In this case, we strongly recommend to the future “author of the idea” to expand and deepen the proposal of the Liberal Democratic Party. Firstly, fines for officials for illegal collections of citizens should generally be extended to all administrative offenses, in addition to those recorded using automatic recording tools. And secondly, to extend this procedure not only to the federal Code of Administrative Offenses, but also to regional codes, for example in terms of illegal fines for so-called parking on a lawn.

However, there is hope that this bill, directed against the arbitrariness of traffic cops madishniks, whoever it comes from, will still fail: the authorities give no offense to “their own”. For example, it happened with other LDPR initiatives that support ordinary people. The Zhirinovich proposals for a ‘criminal amnesty’ for motorists were ‘lost’ in the Duma; on the decision not to wear seat belts for disabled children when transported in a car; on the elimination of customs duties on car imports during the current crisis …
