We all know very well that during a conversation between a traffic cop and a driver, the law enforcement officer draws attention to the condition of the “mate”, who may be under the influence of the “green snake”. Therefore, law enforcement officers often ask to completely lower the glass in the car in order to better study the driver and “smell” at the same time.
When visually inspecting both the driver and the vehicle, it is sufficient for road agents to perform an inspection, even with the doors and windows closed. But if it is necessary to carry out an inspection, the inspector has the right to demand not only to lower the windows and unlock the locks, but also to open the luggage compartment door. True, for this it will be necessary to draw up a protocol, involve two witnesses in the proceedings or start the video recording process.
However, if a pilot is suspected of consuming alcohol, law enforcement has the right to demand that the pilot leave the cabin, “blow into a hose,” or go to the nearest medical facility for examination.
In the absence of such suspicions and no additional check of the driver and his vehicle is required, the traffic police officer has no right to demand that the glass be lowered in the car. The maximum is to ask. But the driver is under no obligation to comply with the law enforcement officer’s request.
In addition, the width of the opening of the ajar window that the driver needs to communicate with the police officer is not regulated by any law. The main thing is that the “mate” must have the opportunity to hand over the documents to the inspector for verification, and during the dialogue they can see and hear each other without hindrance.
By the way, do you know by what gestures and facial expressions the traffic cops recognize the driver who drank the day before? Then you are here.
