A large number of our fellow citizens, rushing through the Upper Lars border crossing into Georgia, awakened characteristic instincts in the local traffic police. Judging by the countless videos circulated on the internet, the inspectors of the traffic police of North Ossetia are engaged in real looting, extorting money from drivers and passengers of vehicles driving to the border.
Recall that after the announcement of partial mobilization in Russia, a certain part of the “patriots” rushed abroad. Many go to Georgia through the Upper Lars checkpoint. As a result, a mile-long line of cars, buses and trucks formed there. It was reported that before arriving at the checkpoint, the patient had to defend in this series of cars for nearly a week. Many people run out of food and water, and cars run out of fuel because there are no shops or gas stations nearby. Citizens are prepared for anything to get to the border crossing as quickly as possible.
In this situation, a number of officers of the traffic police of North Ossetia began to “squeeze” civilians who were leaving out of habit. For example, by requiring bus passengers to “throw away” 5,000 rubles each under the threat of “do not let the vehicle pass” further down. In addition, the “work” of employees in collaboration with local taxi drivers has gained popularity. The latter offer migrants from the tail of the queue to take them to border control, bypassing everyone for several tens of thousands of rubles.
In this scheme, of course, traffic cops – “for a small part” “connected” taxi drivers offer the opportunity to move to the front of the queue. All this fuss and lawlessness caught the attention of the FSB. As a result of operational measures, including interception of the suspects’ conversations, a dozen traffic police officers from North Ossetia and taxi drivers have already been detained. According to Baza, arrests are expected of even more people among those who decided to profit at the expense of citizens leaving Russia.
