According to clause 2.1.1 of the SDA, in established cases, the driver is obliged to present the traffic police officer with the documents for the transportation of this or that load in the car. Naturally, speech in this situation largely affects professional carriers and representatives of transport and courier services. But if desired, if they see, for example, an expensive tool, a computer, a tablet or even a suitcase in the cabin, the police can ask to explain where and where these things are transported by the “mate”.
Just because they can – doesn’t mean they have the right! Therefore, it is not necessary to present documents confirming that the luggage has not been stolen, is not criminal, but is listed as the personal property of the driver. Although in the regions with such “scarecrows”, law enforcement officers sometimes provoke inexperienced and legally ignorant car owners to “solve the problem on the spot.”
Here, by the way, it would not be superfluous to add that any inspection in a car must be carried out according to the protocol, video recording, in the presence of two witnesses. And Russian law does not provide for the need for individuals to carry documents for their own belongings. So send “cunningly crooked” military men … to search for real law and order violators. Hotline traffic police – to help.
Meanwhile, roadside police officers are often confused in terms, initiate an inspection of an allegedly suspicious vehicle, personally poking around the “dirty linen” of the driver and passengers. Know: the inspection does not imply that the inspector of the traffic police touches anything in the car with his own hands. The car owner must himself demonstrate the contents of the trunk or passenger compartment to the traffic police officer. If it is necessary to thoroughly check the car, an inspection is carried out, which we described above.
In addition, do not forget about Article 49 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, where it is written in Russian that “the accused is not obliged to prove his innocence”, as well as “the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty in the manner prescribed by the federal law.” Although in practice in our country guilty car owners have to constantly defend themselves without guilt from those who are obliged to protect them.
