In recent years, the mass driver has become less and less interested in the rights of traffic cops. Because I interacted with them in person less and less, thanks to the growing dominance of traffic police cameras on the roads. But the events of the past year are helping to strengthen the security forces’ personal control over civilians. The AvtoVzglyad portal analyzes the “telephone” aspect of the relationship between police officers and motorists.
Our times are difficult now and in some regions of Russia they are also paramilitary. Here and there, already on the railways, some freaks try to derail trains. And all over the country, vigilant citizens report to “Comrade Major” about cases of discrediting the Russian army by people they know and do not know on the Internet. In such a situation, do not be surprised if a zealous traffic policeman you meet on the highway suddenly finds in you a resemblance to a person who pours water on the mill of a common enemy. And then he decides to verify this by familiarizing himself with the contents of your mobile phone.
How are you in a similar situation? First of all, you should know that a smartphone is a personal thing, which contains your personal information, which you don’t even have to show to the security forces just like that. The law “On Police” gives the officer the right to inspect the device from the outside. For example, if you enter a protected area. Or a mechanic suddenly suspects that the device in your pocket has been stolen. But no more. At the same time, the police officer has no right to dive into your applications and accounts.
An associate can snoop into your smartphone only in the context of an established criminal or administrative case – if the detective or interrogator deems the content of your “voter” essential to the investigation.
If the traffic police officer asks to depict something similar on the side of the road, the driver or passenger of the car must do the following. First, write down the name of the soldier, his badge number and the name of the unit. Find out in which case he plans to get acquainted with the contents of your “mobile”. Ideally, everything that happens should be filmed.
If, in response to your refusal to give him access to the phone, the traffic cop offers to go with him to the police station, give the name and address of this beautiful place and contact your family or a lawyer you know, tell them where and who is taking you. In this case, it is necessary to require the police to issue a protocol on administrative detention in accordance with art. 27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses – so that an official “trace” remains of what is happening. On the ward, insist that you establish a protocol for examining the contents of your phone. At the same time, the police officer is obliged to mark in it all the “pages” that he views.
Agree that such a procedure is too cool for a useless (although he tries to be vigilant) traffic cop. Therefore, describe to him in detail all the “body movements” that he will have to make to get to the contents of your smartphone. Most likely, after that, the desire to plunge into your device will dry up.
