We all know very well how roadside cops work, sometimes arranging traffic jams and breaking the law entrusted to them. The desire of the traffic police to carry out raids precisely at pedestrian crossings, in tunnels, bridges and even under no-stop signs is no exception. Where, in fact, traffic cops have no right to stop drivers, the AvtoVzglyad portal found out.
The administrative regulations of the Ministry of the Interior state to the police that in a number of places, even if you really wanted to, it is unacceptable to stop violators of traffic rules. Unless, of course, we are talking about the need to block the car of an aggressive driver who does not comply with the legal requirements of traffic police inspectors.
THEORY
As with regular scheduled checks, military personnel are not allowed to slow down motorists on sections of road where this is prohibited by the rules. In more detail, law enforcement officers have no right to peck in tunnels, on bridges, viaducts and overpasses, as well as at railroad crossings and near tram tracks.
Among other things, traffic officers are not allowed to catch “customers” in places where the distance between the dividing lane, or the opposite edge of the roadway, and the stationary vehicle is less than three meters. Of course, the ambush prohibition also applies at public transport stops, dangerous bends, on zebra crossings, sidewalks and areas where the visibility of the road narrows to 100 meters in one direction.
EXCERCISE
In addition, it is unacceptable to place “traps” where there is a possibility of stationary cars blocking road signs or traffic lights of other road users. However, in practice, law enforcement officers rarely adhere to these postulates, and all because the same regulation allows you to “bypass” prohibitions, guided by allowed exceptions.
For example, to prevent a real threat to the life or health of citizens and damage to (state) property. However, the legitimate ability to slow down anyone, anywhere seems much simpler, having previously indicated the patrol car’s location with special signals turned on and cones on the roadway. And it does not matter – the suppression of offenses for or the usual “profit” for the sake of!
Of course, the car owner is unlikely to ask unnecessary questions to the military, in connection with which they demanded him to stop where it is prohibited and there is a risk of creating an emergency for other road users. But even if he asks, the answer will be clear: the notorious rules forbid the police and allow them to break the law.
