According to the management regulations of the traffic police, inspectors are obliged to stop motorists in places where this is permitted by the traffic rules. Don’t police officers along the road have the right to brake “steers” under a sign that prohibits parking or stopping? It doesn’t matter how!
The same regulation also provides for exceptions that traffic police regularly use, sometimes even to force motorists to violate traffic rules. For example, driving to a prohibited traffic light at the request of the traffic controller, making a turn into a lane intended for oncoming traffic, or rolling out into a “separated lane”. Not to mention traffic jams, which often arise through the fault of supposedly valiant law enforcement officers.
The fact remains: traffic cops can stop the car anywhere and on any part of the roadway or its absence. True, for this the patrol car must indicate the stopping point with the provided flashing light, as well as “other means of controlling and organizing traffic.” For example, cones, which are also systematically used by military personnel, artificially narrow several lanes into one. It is simply easier for them to filter passing vehicles, pushing into a traffic jam, deliberately organized by the traffic police. In general, I turned on the flashing light on the company car, put the cones where and when I wanted, but “bombs” – I don’t want!
Law enforcement officers are also required to turn on flashing lights when they themselves violate the law entrusted to them. Traffic cops can also deviate from the Rules, but with due observance of the working “light music”. Simply put, the crew parked their “carriage” against the traffic rules – a flashing light will help. And the authorities will find no fault, and motorists will not attend.
But if the roof of the patrol car does not shine with red and blue lights, then the uniformed people themselves do not violate anything, nor do they force other road users to transgress. However, often there are police cars with turned on flashing lights, even at traffic police stations. As a rule, law enforcement officers light a “chandelier” so that they can be seen from afar. And not only drivers, but also their colleagues, including senior management. And what: everything is fine – the service continues, even if the soldier is asleep. Although the inspectors often simply forget to turn off the infamous flashing light.
