Very often, during scheduled inspections or special raids, traffic police officers stop almost all passing cars. Sometimes there are whole files in between. Does the driver have to wait, and it’s not known how long, until law enforcement approaches him?
First of all, it should be said that the driver is obliged to obey the lawful order of the road agent to stop at the place indicated by him. In addition, a traffic police officer can brake the car not only with the help of a bar, but also with a hand gesture, as well as on the move from the passenger compartment of a patrol car. In addition, law enforcement officers have the right to require the driver to drive even through a prohibited traffic light and stop in the wrong place.
The fact remains: the traffic controller’s requirements come first! Although the latter is obliged to act according to the internal administrative regulations, which in turn instructs the traffic police officer to “approach the driver without delay”. What should the driver do if the car has stopped, but people in uniform are somehow in no hurry to approach it?
Of course, it is not worth leaving without waiting for communication with a traffic cop. Otherwise, they can organize a chase for you or pass vehicle details to the nearest crews. And then to punish for disobeying the lawful order of the policeman with a fine of up to 4,000 rubles and even “lock up” in a temporary detention center for 15 days.
It’s another matter if you didn’t notice how the inspector raised the baton in your direction or thought that the wave of the “striped wand” was directed at one of the other road users. Although here according to Art. 19.3. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, similar sanctions can be applied to the driver. Although it is more correct if, under art. 12.25 of the Administrative Code “Non-compliance with the requirement to stop the vehicle”, which provides for a fine of up to 800 rubles. But when the driver fades out after the actual stop, it’s sure to arouse unnecessary suspicion. As they say, it is better not to tempt fate.
After stopping a number of cars, law enforcement officers can, in theory, simply forget whether they specifically approached your car or not. Well, come to them yourself and at the same time ask why one of the inspectors did not condescend to honor you with his sympathy. If the police just counts you after stopping, turn on the camera of the smartphone and also ask for an explanation.
In the worst case, a call to the “hotline” of the traffic police will help, where you need to report the ranks of the police and the number plates of their cars. In the event of non-compliance with the regulations, military personnel can be verbally abused and even brought to disciplinary responsibility. A driver rushing to do his business should not suffer the guilt of a traffic police inspector who violates instructions.
