As it turned out, the Interior Ministry quietly continues to play one of its favorite board games – “rewriting the traffic police rules”. What surprises are prepared by the next – or the fourth, or already the fifth – version of the document, which still can not get the status of accepted, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.
The contents of the document under the long title “Administrative Regulations for the Implementation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation of the State Function for the Implementation of the Federal State Supervision of Compliance by Road Users with the Requirements of the Legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of road safety”, which was adopted at the end of 2017, is obviously chasing the police. This “regulation” is actually a “bible” for every traffic police officer, according to which he sends his service every day. This folio turned out to be quite unexpected in the media attention today: the Ministry of the Interior suddenly informed the publication Autonews that the department was developing a “different” document for the traffic inspection: “The procedure for monitoring the compliance of road users with the requirements of the RF road safety legislation.”
As they say: the same “regulations”, only in profile. The funny thing about the situation is that this is already the fourth or even fifth attempt by the Ministry of the Interior to rewrite the document in force since 2017. Everyone else reached the stage of “submitted for public discussion”, and then safely forgotten. Typically, with each new edition of these projects, more and more freedoms and rights were granted to traffic officers. And the latest convulsion of “regulation” happened at the law enforcement department last spring.
Subsequently, officials in police uniforms, especially unknown to the general public, have the opportunity for a traffic police officer to actually perform a technical inspection of a car on the road, “packaged” in the draft rules – without instruments (as it should be) , just “by sight”. They also allowed traffic cops to put “human shields” on private cars, hide in roadside ambush, and other useful things in the day-to-day work of an ordinary (and not so) traffic police officer. And now it turns out that May’s “regulations” (or rather, their draft) are all nonsense. Something like spring creative exacerbation for the authors of the document.
But it turns out that you can safely forget about it, because the Ministry of the Interior writes another version of the “scheme” – even under a different name. And now – exactly, exactly, really, really – the same people will ‘give’ their traffic police colleagues a super-perfect guiding document. Judging by indirect information about him, the same “Administrative Rules…” were taken as the basis for the latest “Procedure for Execution…” and crammed into it with various points useful to the traffic cop. For example, official permission to shoot from a personal smartphone. Traffic cops do it at every turn without any regulation even now, but they have decided to legalize this practice.
In addition, the military will now have an officially approved response to the demand of a motorist who has stopped on the road to present at least a document, on the basis of which the officer “slows down” passing cars in this spot. A very curious “carrier” under white hands will be taken to the traffic police – to familiarize yourself with the papers stored there. It must be assumed that motorists who want to talk to traffic cops in a legal language will decrease sharply. After all, few people want to waste time traveling in an official police car. There is no doubt that the new “traffic bible” will be further relaxed for workers who deprive motorists of certain arguments when confronting unscrupulous traffic police representatives.
However, there is hope that this will all turn out to be “puff”. It is possible that the situation develops according to the standard scenario: the project is published, but then they remember that “something needs to be added here, here and here”. After that, the document will again ingloriously disappear into the bowels of the Ministry of the Interior, after it has gone for another revision. Meanwhile, traffic police officers “on the spot” will be perfectly managed, following the “regulations” of five years ago.
And that’s probably what will happen. After all, the development of new versions of the “bible” of the traffic police has long become a hobby paid by the state for police officers, reminiscent of the familiar type of activity of a cat who does not know what to do do with yourself…
