In no case should you assume that all transport police officers are werewolves in uniform. On the contrary, most of them are doing their hard duty with honor. But if someone here and there sometimes wants to cheat you for money, you should know what to do in such cases.
Necessary
- - Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation;
- - Traffic Laws.
Instructions
Step 1
Study the breathalyzer carefully before "breathing" into it. Sometimes inspectors create the desired alcoholic background by thrusting a cotton swab with alcohol into the device. Be sure to inspect the device for the integrity of the seals. There must be a number on the seal. Ask for the original stamped instrument test report. Ask for the original, not a photocopy. The certificate contains the number that should be on the seal, check it for a match.
Step 2
If you disagree with the inspector's decision, but are confident in your condition, ask for a medical examination. Before going to the doctor, the inspector may ask you to sign a protocol on the examination with a breathalyzer. Indicate in the protocol that you do not agree with the readings of the device and are ready to undergo a medical examination.
Step 3
Make sure that instead of the protocol, you are not slipped into the signature "Refusal of medical examination." By signing it, you automatically admit that you are drunk.
Step 4
Remember, according to the new version of the "Administrative Regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Execution of the State Function for Monitoring Compliance with Road Traffic Safety Requirements", in order to control traffic, the traffic police inspector must be clearly visible to drivers and be in a car painted according to color-graphic standards DPS. If you are stopped for speeding "from an ambush", look for witnesses that the inspectors were not visible from the road.
Step 5
If there are no witnesses, indicate in the violation report that the inspectors were hiding, and this is illegal. This is the basis for filing a complaint and a demand to terminate the proceedings, since "… it is not allowed to use evidence obtained in violation of the law …" (Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, part 3 of article 26.2).
Step 6
Do not drink beer or other alcoholic beverages while driving in a stationary car. Despite the fact that the law provides for penalties for "driving" a vehicle, it will be very difficult for you to prove that you were just drinking beer and not driving down the street. Even with the involvement of witnesses, this will take so much strength and energy from you that it is better to go to a bar. Although, of course, there are chances to prove your own.
Step 7
Never agree to violate traffic rules as directed by traffic police officers. Even if you are told directly where you should go, inform that you are ready to obey only on the written instructions of the inspector. Especially often this situation occurs when you are asked to turn around and drive up to a stationary post. Sometimes, with excitement, they do not notice the double solid line. Namely, this is what unscrupulous traffic police officers expect from you. Better leave your car on the side of the road and cross the road on foot.
