Have the roadside police re-mastered the 1990s method of “separating” drivers, forcing them to break traffic laws only to fine them later or fill their pockets? Previously, traffic police crews loved such an adventure – while one traffic controller pointed out to the “mate” that he should stop at a bus stop or drive onto the sidewalk, the other, meanwhile, began to drive up a freshly baked offender. The words from the series “a traffic cop asked me to do this” were simply ignored. Moreover, the same traffic cop-provocateur disappeared from view immediately. In general, the artificial traps invented by law enforcement officers – “sticks” for and for profit – cannot be counted on one’s fingers.
But even today, situations often arise where law enforcement officers require the driver to stop in the wrong place, run through a red light, and even enter the oncoming lane. What should the driver do in such cases?
In fact, the driver is obliged to comply with “the requirements of the signals and orders of the traffic controller, even if they contradict traffic lights, the requirements of traffic signs or markings”, which is whitewashed by the police in Article 6.15 of the SDA. Although traffic police officers must of course comply with the maximum maximum measures to ensure the safety of road users. In other words, do not force the “mate” to break the Rules if it can be avoided.
However, if necessary, for example “to suppress an administrative offense, a crime, as well as in the implementation of administrative and regulatory measures”, the traffic police officer has the right to stop the car at any time and anywhere. Even on the “oncoming car”, even at the intersection, even on the side of the road or on the lawn. In other words, you should not be afraid to break traffic rules if the police ask you to. You will not be fined for this!
Another thing is that the country’s roads are littered with ubiquitous photo and video recording cameras, which automatically reveal the offense committed, which will then turn into the infamous “letter of happiness.” In this case, we strongly recommend that you appeal the fine, arguing that people in uniform are behind your sin. Well, if “Big Brother” fixes them too. If not, the decision cannot be annulled.
In any case, try to comply with the demands of traffic cops with minimal risk to yourself. It will not be superfluous to have a video recorder with GPS in the car interior, which will certainly help to solve the situation with an unlawfully imposed fine.
