Each of us sooner or later is forced to communicate with traffic police officers. And not always these contacts can be harmless. Even if you have not violated anything and the documents are in order, this does not mean that there is no cause for concern. If the inspector starts asking strange questions after the first check, this should immediately become an alarm signal. It is clear that something is starting to happen.
An interesting situation happened to the author of these lines. Before New Year, the inspector stopped my car to check the documents. And introduced herself very strangely. It started with him announcing clearly and loudly that he was an inspector of some kind of traffic police regiment, then moving on to disappearing silent whispers, failing to reach rank and surname. And your correspondent’s documents did not particularly interest him. He looked at it and suddenly asked if I wanted to volunteer my car for inspection? To a reasonable question on what basis I should do this, the soldier began to talk vaguely about some kind of internal instructions that would allow him to carry out this procedure.
At the same time, he diligently hinted that I had neither the right nor the opportunity to refuse this. Admittedly, the sly face of the roadman raised some doubts in my mind. The car is big, there are three inspectors and I am only one. Tracking their actions is not easy at all. And even the fact of video recording a police officer’s chest camera does not guarantee illegal actions on his part. It is enough to discreetly put a bag or something similar in the car – and I immediately have very serious problems. All these thoughts swirled through my mind very quickly and I made a decision. Very easy.
I refused to let the man inspect my private property. But as a law-abiding citizen, he suggested going the official way, which means drawing up a protocol for the inspection of a vehicle, followed by filling out a deed of this inspection. In addition, the entire operation is carried out in the presence of two witnesses and with their mandatory signatures in the document. In addition, the inspector is required to provide the vehicle owner with a copy of the protocol for further appeal, if required. The protocol is also useful because it contains the details of the inspector who performed the described actions.
Of course, during the inspection (and especially if you doubt the decency of the employee) it is recommended to film all the actions yourself and in no case leave the cunning security forces alone with your car. That is, first you close the car completely. You then open a door and under your watchful control the inspector inspects the space available to him. Then the door is locked, the next one opens and the procedure is repeated.
Naturally, witness statements must also actively participate in the process of supervising the inspector’s actions. And the AvtoVzglad portal recommends strict adherence to such rules. After all, we know too many examples of illegal actions by traffic police officers, which in theory should be a model of impeccable performance of duties. By the way, after I announced this schedule for inspecting my car to the inspector, he immediately lost interest in me. Curious why?
