In questionable situations, a portable DVR often helps. Sometimes it is enough to draw the attention of law enforcement officers to the presence of this gadget in the car, while it retreats. Unless, of course, they wanted to “divorce” you at the same time. But if not, the same record can be presented to the military as proof of your innocence. As an option for follow-up procedures – adding the video to the case of an administrative violation. But if it is feared that it will be lost or deteriorated, you can indicate this directly during the appeal against the decision.
In addition, car lawyers, who regularly encounter controversial situations caused in particular by the arbitrariness of law enforcement officers themselves, strongly advise against writing under the dictation of a traffic police officer. The inspector can then deliberately force you to sign under something you did not commit.
In addition, it would be very useful to check the healthy articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses, and at the same time the traffic rules, which, according to the traffic cops, “play” against you. Often, military personnel “charge” for a turn through a continuous marker line, such as for driving in the oncoming lane. But if in the first case the fine is 1,500 rubles, then in the second – 5,000 rubles, or suspension of the “driver’s license” for up to six months. In general, be careful – the traffic rules and administrative code of the Russian Federation are available on the Internet for free. Smartphone to help. And remember: ignorance of the laws is no excuse.
