All actions of traffic police inspectors are regulated by law. But can a traffic cop open the door in a car that has stopped to check documents? The AvtoVzglyad portal found out the nuances of the work of roadside police officers.
During the check of documents, the driver is obliged to provide the gays with a driver’s crust, a registration certificate and an insurance policy. The latter can also be done electronically. At the same time, the “steersman” and the traffic cop must be able to see and hear each other perfectly, but for this the driver does not even have to leave the passenger compartment. To communicate with representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is enough to lower the side window. And not completely, but partially. In which cases does the inspector have the right to open the doors independently after stopping the car?
To open a car door, an employee needs a good reason. For example, in the event of unlawful acts by the driver and his companions, in the event of disobedience to the lawful demands of law enforcement officers, but also in the event of danger to the life and health of citizens.
However, traffic cops can “break into” someone else’s car in the so-called cases of extreme necessity, when they need a car for urgent official purposes. For example, to stop crimes, organize the pursuit of intruders, and so on. True, law enforcement agencies must pay a fee to the owner of the car for the use of transportation, and also incur costs if the “iron horse” breaks down or is damaged.
In the case of an ordinary document check, road agents themselves do not have the right to open the doors of a passenger car. If the traffic cops allowed themselves such liberties, then boldly close it back, continue to communicate through the window, and even better – under the recording of a smartphone video camera. The maximum that law enforcement officers are allowed to do is to lightly tap the glass to attract the attention of the driver, who is required to immediately transfer their “rights” and STS to them.
