It’s no secret that the law enforcement officers on our roads carry duty weapons – from pistols to machine guns. But not everyone knows in what cases the police have the right to use it against drivers.
Any traffic police officer can open fire when he feels a real threat to health or life, both his own and others.
For example, a driver or passenger who has shown armed resistance to some legal order from a traffic police officer can easily get a bullet from a law enforcement officer. Also, roadside agents can shoot at intruders who try to take their guns or force them to steal a company car.
In addition, each of the guards of public order has the full right, if necessary, to use the “firearms” service to repel an armed attack on citizens, objects of state and municipal authorities, as well as public organizations. Moreover, “armed” in this case means resistance or attack, not only with the use of weapons of any kind, but also with objects that look like weapons. In other words, in order to start shooting, the police officer only has to assume that the attacker has a knife or a gun in his hand, which can cause death or grievous bodily harm.
Of course, people in uniform can open fire to suppress actions that are signs of a serious and especially serious crime against property, health or life, when the villain tries to hide, and “it is not possible to prevent this person in any other way to hold on”. .”
Traffic police inspectors can grab a weapon if necessary to stop the offender’s car, “if the person driving it refuses to comply with the police officer’s repeated requests to stop and tries to hide, causing life and endangering the health of citizens.” True, in the vicinity of a crowd of people, if there is a risk of random civilians being injured as a result of using the barrel, the police have no right to open fire.
