Is it legal to ask to remove tint?

The inspector’s requirement to remove “tinting” from the car window on the spot is illegal

The authorized bodies gave the corresponding explanation in response to a request from State Duma deputy Yaroslav Nilov , as reported on the official website of the party of which he is a member.

The request was generated based on numerous complaints from drivers who were forced by traffic inspectors, who stopped vehicles to check whether the light transmittance of car windows complied with GOST 32565-2013 standards and discovered a violation, to remove the tinting immediately - at the place of arrest. They justified their demand as provided for in clause 1, part 1, art. 13 of the Federal Law of February 7, 2011 No. 3-FZ “On the Police” the right to demand from citizens and officials to stop illegal actions. “Failure to comply with the order issued in such cases, according to traffic police officers, entails administrative liability in relation to motorists in the form of a fine from 500 to 1000 rubles. or administrative arrest for 15 days,” the deputy emphasized.

In this regard, the parliamentarian sent a request to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and the Prosecutor General's Office regarding the need to remove the tint film from the car at the request of the inspector directly at the place of detention. The responses to the request indicate that there are no direct provisions in the legislation obliging the driver to do this immediately. Thus, the head of the Main Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Mikhail Chernikov , recalled that the traffic inspector does have the right to demand the removal of a film that does not comply with the technical regulations, having formalized this requirement in writing. “At the same time, the elimination of such a violation must be carried out within a reasonable time - at least 24 hours,” says the head of the State Traffic Inspectorate. A similar position is stated in the response of the Prosecutor General's Office.

Does the legislation provide for requirements to establish the degree of restriction of the view from the driver's seat by additional objects or coverings when bringing to administrative liability?

Prescription for tinting in 2020

Good afternoon, dear reader.

This article will discuss tinting car windows, as well as the legality of the requirement to remove the tint film, which in practice can be imposed by traffic police officers in 2020.

Let me remind you that fines for tinting were discussed in a separate article. The fine for this violation is minimal (500 rubles), so it does not stop many drivers.

To combat violators, traffic police officers came up with a cunning scheme, as a result of which the driver could receive an administrative arrest. Let's take a closer look at it.

Is it legal to claim tinting in 2019?

An order to remove tinting is an additional document that is issued to the driver along with a decision to impose an administrative fine.

At the same time, the requirement states that the driver must remove the tint film within a certain period (usually 10 days). Otherwise, the violator will be subject to additional administrative liability. Moreover, the punishment provided is quite serious - up to arrest for up to 15 days.

I first heard about such a scheme from readers of pddmaster.ru several years ago. Moreover, it was not clear on what basis the traffic police officers demanded that the driver remove the tint. In this regard, doubts arose about the legality of their demands.

However, in practice, the document is more cunning than it seemed at first.

Request to terminate an administrative offense

In preparing this article, I studied several options for requirements that are issued by traffic police officers. I suggest you look at one of the examples:

Let's take a closer look at the document below:

1. Please note that the traffic police in the text of the order does not require removing the tint film as such. It demands that the administrative offense be stopped .

In this case, the driver can stop the offense in several ways:

Removing the tint film is the most obvious option.
Stop driving (do not use the vehicle).
Sell a car, etc.

2. This requirement is completely legal. Article 13 of the Federal Law “On Police”:

Article 13. Police rights

1. To perform their duties, the police are granted the following rights:

1) demand from citizens and officials the cessation of illegal actions , as well as actions that impede the legitimate activities of state and municipal bodies, deputies of legislative (representative) bodies of state power, deputies of representative bodies of municipalities, members of election commissions, referendum commissions, as well as the activities of public associations;

So everything is within the limits of the law.

3. Liability for violation of this requirement is provided for in Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

1. Disobedience to a lawful order or demand of a police officer, a military man or an employee of a body or institution of the penal system or an employee of the National Guard of the Russian Federation in connection with the performance of their duties to protect public order and ensure public safety, as well as obstruction of their performance of official duties -

shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred to one thousand rubles or administrative arrest for a term of up to fifteen days .

Thus, if the driver ignores the requirement and continues to drive a car whose glass does not comply with the current regulations, then the next time he is stopped by the traffic police, in addition to a fine for tinting in the amount of 500 rubles, he will receive an additional punishment. The amount of the punishment will be chosen by the judge.

If there are mitigating circumstances, the driver will receive a fine of 500 - 1000 rubles . Otherwise, administrative arrest may be imposed for up to 15 days .

In practice, there are drivers who are willing to constantly pay fines for tinting, just so as not to remove the treasured film from the front windows. It is for them that the requirement to stop the offense is intended. It’s unlikely that anyone would want to serve 15 days behind bars.

What happens if you remove the tint and then re-glue it?

Drivers often try to find loopholes in the legislation. Therefore, the question arises whether it is possible to remove the tint, drive without it for a while, and then put it back.

In this case this makes no sense , since the traffic police does not require removing the tint, but rather stopping illegal actions.

How long does the tint requirement last in 2020?

The validity period of the requirement to terminate the offense is indicated in the text of the document itself. Usually it is 10 days . If this period passes and the driver is caught again driving the same car with tinting, he will be punished accordingly.

Appealing an order in court

As practice shows, in the case of repeated driving of a tinted car, the courts side with the traffic police officers. Those. drivers receive an additional fine or arrest. So you shouldn’t expect that the decision can be easily appealed.

On the other hand, courts do not impose punishment if procedural documents are drawn up with violations. So carefully study the available documents. If there are any errors there (for example, the driver is required to remove the tint at the scene of the offense), then it makes sense to go to court with a complaint.

What to do if you receive a prescription for tinting?

In this case, the most reasonable solution would be to remove the film from the front windows of the car and bring it into compliance with the current technical regulations of the Customs Union “On the safety of wheeled vehicles.” After this, you don't have to worry about additional punishments.

They issued a request to remove the tint: why is it illegal?

Traffic police officers, within the framework of their official powers, have the right to demand the cessation of an offense. In the case of tinting, this right is implemented in the requirement to remove the tinting as a warning to the driver from repeating traffic violations. Why is it illegal, how to avoid it and whether requirements are issued for 2019, we’ll talk in the article!

Tinting is allowed!

Let's start with the fact that tinting is not prohibited in Russia at all - this is a misconception that is rooted in ignorance of traffic rules. In particular, it is allowed:

any tinting with any light transmittance, if the car is parked and not in use,
tinting, which, according to the results of measurements with a device by a traffic police inspector on the road, transmits at least 70% of the light when the driver is driving the car.

The traffic rules say exactly this: “Tinting is permitted” - the full text of the interpretation and why tinting windows as such is not prohibited in our country, you will understand by reading the legal basis of the regulations below.

Legal basis

So, if you have tinted front hemisphere of glass with a light transmittance of less than 70%, then you may be issued one of two papers:

requirement to eliminate tinting as an offense,
order to remove tint.

Both of these documents are equivalent by law as of 2019, have the same force, are aimed at the same goal and will lead to the same consequences, so in the article we will use them as synonyms.

The legislative basis for issuing such orders is as many as 5 legal acts:

traffic rules,
Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “ On the safety of wheeled vehicles ”,
Code of Administrative Offences,
Federal Law “ On Police ”,
Administrative regulations introduced by Order No. 664 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In more detail, let's list excerpts from each of these legislative acts!

The Traffic Regulations directly prohibit tinting a car in its List of faults and conditions under which the operation of cars is prohibited:

It is allowed to use tinted glass (except for mirror glass), the light transmission of which complies with GOST 5727-88 .

As you can see, the traffic rules refer to GOST. But the latter is not relevant for 2019 and is presented as an alternative in the form of Technical Regulations, which precisely regulate the compliance of tinting:

4.3. The light transmission of the windshield and windows through which forward visibility is provided to the driver must be at least 70% .

The Administrative Code, in turn, establishes liability for violations of traffic rules, referring to the Technical Regulations, and prescribes a fine of 500 rubles for tinting:

3.1.
Driving a vehicle with glass (including glass covered with transparent colored films) whose light transmission does not meet the requirements of the technical regulations on the safety of wheeled vehicles is subject to an administrative fine of five hundred rubles .

Also, it is in the Code of Administrative Offenses that there is punishment for failure to comply with the legal requirements of a police officer, who is a traffic police inspector:

1. Disobedience to a lawful request of a police officer. entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred to one thousand rubles or administrative arrest for a term of up to fifteen days .

The Federal Law on the Police in its article No. 13 says the following:

1. To fulfill their duties, the police are granted the following rights:

demand from citizens and officials the cessation of illegal actions , as well as actions that impede the legitimate activities of state and municipal bodies.

And finally, the Administrative Regulations, paragraph 6, prescribes traffic police officers the right to:

6. When exercising federal state supervision, officials have the right:
6.1. Demand that citizens and officials stop illegal actions .

At first glance, based on the essence of the presentation of legal acts, it seems that everything is logical - tinting is a violation of traffic rules, the police are given the right to demand that this violation be stopped, and the Code of Administrative Offenses prescribes the arrest of drivers for failure to comply with the requirement. But that's not entirely true!

Why are the demands illegal?

Examples of such requirements:

There are as many as 2 contradictions to the law in force in 2019 of such requirements for tinting.

You will complete the requirement within its time limit many times!

The first is to control the vehicle. Above, in the quotation from the traffic rules, it was not for nothing that we pointed out that this is an excerpt from the list of conditions under which the operation of cars is prohibited. The Code of Administrative Offenses also punishes management.

The subtlety is that most often you are issued a “demand to cease the offense.” Meanwhile, as we mentioned above, tinting is permitted and is not an offense. It is a traffic violation to drive with tinted windows with a light transmittance of less than 70%. Accordingly, each start of movement after a stop forms a new composition for this violation.

But at the moment when the request for elimination is issued, the tinted car has already been stopped by a traffic police officer - that is, the offense has been stopped! And, given the average time frame for such orders is 10 days or more, you will stop more than once and essentially fulfill this requirement. You will do it several times a day!

It’s another matter if the ill-fated paper says “ Demand to terminate the conditions leading to the violation .” Here the inspector seems to be aware that the violation is the control, and therefore issues a more specific requirement - to stop the conditions that entail the violation, that is, it comes directly from the traffic rules (the list of conditions under which operation is prohibited).

In this case, there is also nothing legal. Tinting is not a condition leading to a violation. Following this logic, one could:

prohibit the sale of too dark tint film as a condition leading to traffic violations,
introduce prohibition in the country, given that any drunk citizen of such a country can get behind the wheel.

However, there is still some logic here - after all, the only purpose of a car is its operation and control. And excessive tinting of the front hemisphere will inevitably lead to an offense. Otherwise, why tint the windows if the car will be parked?! However, demanding that the terms of the offense be terminated is still illegal, and here’s why!

There is no regulation for issuing written demands

Law in Russia is based on the clear letter of the law. Otherwise it can not be! And one of the criteria for such clarity is a direct prescription of the order of execution of various procedures, as well as written documents:

the protocol is regulated by Article 28.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, the resolution with a fine is 29.10,
the procedure for detention is described in paragraphs 179-188 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs regulations,
and many more administrative procedural actions.

Regarding the requirements, you will not find a procedure for writing them out in writing either in the Code of Administrative Offenses, or in the regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or anywhere else, because we are talking about the immediate cessation of an offense when, for example, a drunken rowdy beats up passers-by, and a police officer has the right (and the obligation) ) not to give him the opportunity to continue doing this, and about other “acute” violations.

The requirement to remove the tint essentially has no basis in any documents regulating the procedure for writing it, and therefore should not be any kind of argumentative argument in court.

Even more absurd is the requirement criterion, such as its term. And the obligation of witnesses, the presence of a signature of the person in respect of whom it was issued, and what data must be entered into this document are also unclear.

However, the requirements in practice in 2019 are issued in almost all regions of Russia.

We issued a demand - what to do?

However, “verbiage” may be beautiful from the point of view of legislation, but it is not practical. What should you do if, despite your arguments about the illegality of the demands, you were still prescribed it?

And here we have bad news for you - just tinted and not tinted before the expiration of the requirement. Alas, there are no other loopholes or ways to avoid the requirement, as well as its consequences, for 2019.

For failure to comply with requirements, people are and will be imprisoned. Moreover, even if:

You were detonated and toned again,
everything is the same as in point 1, but you have supporting documents that you removed the tint (and then put it back on),
if a demand was issued against one driver, but another was caught again (however, here, according to judicial practice in 2019, there are possible options to avoid punishment).

Arbitrage practice

Court decision No. 5-507/2016. The driver was brought to justice under Part 1 of Art. 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses with a fine of 500 rubles for failure to comply with an order to remove tinting.
Court decision No. 5-1109/2017. The driver, after the requirement was issued against him, lost his tone and re-toned it. As a result, the district court vacated the Article 19.3 proceedings for failure to comply.
Decision of the Krasnodar Territory Court No. 1-66-2011. The driver asked that the demand be declared illegal on the basis that it had already been fulfilled, since the vehicle had already stopped. The court did not satisfy the complaint.
Court decision No. 5-218/2016. The court dismissed the case on the basis that traffic police inspectors drew up a report on the driver under Article 19.3 on the last day before which the requirement to remove the tint was issued.

Requirement for tinting: how to remove it and is it legal?

Requirement for tinting

Tinting the windshield and front windows of the driver and passenger is, in principle, not prohibited. But the Technical Regulations “On the Safety of Wheeled Vehicles” establish a clear limitation on the degree of light transmittance. The penalty for excessive tinting is a fine of 500 rubles under Part 3.1 of Article 12.5 of the Administrative Code. But along with the decision, the driver is given a so-called demand on the spot. It has different interpretations in the name:

demand to stop the offense,
requirement to eliminate the circumstances that led to the commission of an administrative offense and others.

It is also called a prescription.

What is the requirement for tinting and what is it regulated by?

The contents of such procedural papers vary from region to region, from city to city. There are no uniform rules for writing out this document - so they write whatever they want:

one of the traffic police inspectors demands that the tint be removed,
someone - stop the offense,
someone – to eliminate the causes and conditions that impede the operation of the vehicle.

Is it legal?

De facto, the absence of a uniform procedure for issuing a requirement emphasizes its illegality. The actions of any police officer, including a traffic police inspector, are based on three pillars:

Responsibilities.
Rights to perform duties.
The procedure for exercising rights and obligations.

The procedure for issuing requirements must be established by law:

Any restriction of the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of citizens. is permissible only on the grounds and in the manner provided for by federal law - this is what Part 2 of Article 6 of the Law “On the Police” says.

The procedure for exercising the rights of a police officer is determined by orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and in our case for 2019 it is enshrined in Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs No. 727 of November 14, 2016, which approved the Administrative Regulations for Supervision of the Technical Condition of Transport (in fact, the name of the regulation is very long).

But this regulation does not provide for issuing requirements to individuals. In principle, this is quite enough to declare it illegal. However, there are more than enough other reasons to prove that the requirement does not comply with the law. But, alas, as the practice of the Supreme Court shows, the arguments given in complaints about cases related to punishment for tinting car windows are unconvincing. And illegal requirements are successfully used to punish drivers.

Why is he being discharged?

The offense under Part 3.1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses is considered ongoing. For them, the Code of Administrative Offenses prescribes special security measures that guarantee the immediate cessation of offenses.

For example, if a driver is caught drunk, then his car is taken to a specialized parking lot (impounded parking lot) so that he does not drive drunk on the roads. Or, for example, a car abandoned at a pedestrian crossing is towed away, ending the crime. There are no measures in the Code of Administrative Offenses to stop driving a tinted car. The requirement has become a kind of surrogate for a non-existent security measure.

For failure to comply with the legal requirements of a police officer, a fine of 500 rubles or arrest for up to 15 days is provided under Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Administrative Code. And if the driver, contrary to the order of the traffic police officer, starts driving a tinted car, then the requirement issued to him a little earlier becomes evidence of intent in the driver’s actions, which is a necessary condition for prosecution under Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

For what period is the demand issued?

Here, to answer the question, it is necessary to distinguish between the legal and actual termination of the offense.

Legally, the offense ceases on the day the resolution comes into force, that is, 10 days from the date of the resolution. Therefore, the police prefer to issue a requirement to stop the offense within 10 days. 10 days have passed, the driver continues to drive with tint? The legality of the requirement is confirmed by the resolution that has entered into force, and the prosecution under Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses for failure to comply with the requirements of a police officer is beyond doubt.

Actual termination implies immediate action. And some police officers demand that you stop driving a tinted car immediately. But they are at great risk if the driver does not agree with the offense, and may try to appeal it.

First, let's return to the offense of driving while intoxicated. As I already said, to ensure that a driver does not drive drunk on the roads, after drawing up a report, his car is placed in a specialized parking lot. And in order to pick up the car, he will have to pay a tidy sum for parking services. If the driver is subsequently acquitted, the money will be returned to him. But there are no complaints against the traffic police inspector, since the procedure for placement in a specialized parking lot, the procedure for payment for its services, and the procedure for returning funds to the driver if he turns out to be sober are enshrined in law.

Since the requirement is a surrogate, and there is no procedure for issuing it in nature, then if the decision for tinting is successfully appealed, then de facto such an additional security measure will become illegal.

If you rip off the tint on the spot

What if the driver has already fulfilled the conditions specified in the requirement? For example, the inspector demanded that the tint be removed immediately on the spot, and the driver was forced to agree? Then the Treasury of the Russian Federation will pay for the damage if the resolution is cancelled. And the inspector will pay for the damage caused to the Treasury, upon the proposal of the prosecutor's office.

If the driver agrees with the offense of “driving a tinted car,” then it is better to remove the film on the spot to avoid such requirements. Moreover, this must be done if it has already been written out. According to the Supreme Court, no special knowledge or skills are required to remove tinting. The police can also tell you how to remove tinting from glass. And if the driver tries to start driving a tinted car after issuing a demand to immediately stop the offense, then he can be immediately sent to the magistrate to impose a punishment under Part 1 of Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offences.

If you tune out later

If the inspector writes out such a document about the elimination of the offense within 10 days, then, as a rule, the police write in it a mandatory condition - to present the car for inspection after 10 days to the traffic police. The fact is that tinting is also a change in the design. And if so, then the traffic police can easily cancel the registration if the car is not presented for inspection.

If you do not remove the tint at all after writing out the requirement

If the driver decides not to deregister, then sooner or later the police will stop him, run him through the database, find out that the requirements to stop the offense have not been fulfilled, and send him to the magistrate.

If you remove the film and then tint again

Among tinting lovers, there is an opinion that if you remove the tinting and then re-stick it, then it seems that all the conditions will be met. Yes, they will. But the removal and application of new tint must be documented. For example, an invoice for completed work from the workshop.

What to do if you receive a prescription for tinting?

Car tinting is a favorite pastime of thousands of motorists . Some hide from the curious glances of passers-by and “neighbors” along the lane, simultaneously covering the interior of the cabin, while others pursue the goal of giving the car a more solid look or protecting the upholstery from fading under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.

Whatever the reasons, legal requirements limit freedom of action in this area . Violation of the law entails a fine or arrest for a certain period.

Let's talk about this in more detail, at the same time we'll figure out what a tinting order is in 2019, whether it's legal and what to do after receiving it.

Requirements for the design of car windows

In 2019, GOST 32565-2013 (instead of GOST 5727-88) regulates the following requirements:

The light transmittance of the windshield, front and rear side windows is at least 70%;
If there are 2 rear-view mirrors, the light transmittance of the glass, which provides the driver with visibility from behind, is not standardized;
Shading of the upper part of the windshield is permissible, with a width of no more than 14 cm.

Violation of the rules for operating a vehicle is grounds for detention.

What does a prescription mean?

What is a tint prescription? This is a written request from an official to eliminate identified violations within a certain period of time, issued to the driver after they have been committed.

An instruction also means a presentation, a decision, a decree. This is directly stated in paragraph 1. Article 19.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Compliance with the order is mandatory. The fine for tinting during initial arrest is 500 rubles.

The legality of decisions made to the owner of a tinted car

Is it legal to order tint? Quite . This is a separate document issued to the owner of the car after an administrative protocol on violation of the rules of vehicle operation has been drawn up against him (Basis - paragraph 3.1 of Article 12.5 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses as amended on July 29, 2017).

A period of time is allotted for the fulfillment of the official’s request, which he considers sufficient to eliminate the offense. Usually it is 10 days.

If the order is not fulfilled, upon a second meeting and the driver does not have a certificate of work performed (issued by the company whose specialists removed the film), the employee can hold him accountable, guided by Articles 19.3, 19.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Do traffic police officers have the right to tear off the film at the scene of arrest? Since the order implies a requirement to stop illegal actions - stop violating traffic rules, you can independently remove the film on the spot and move on.

But you will have to pay a fine for tinting . If you do this within 20 days from the date of drawing up the protocol, its size will be reduced by 2 times.

An employee, when making demands to stop illegal actions, is guided by Article 13 of the Federal Law “On the Police”.

Mitigation of punishment

Article 4.2 contains a list of circumstances that mitigate administrative liability:

Voluntary cessation of illegal actions;
Assisting the employee in establishing the circumstances of the offense;
Preventing the negative consequences of an offense by a driver;
Voluntary execution of an order regarding a violation until a decision is made.

In most cases, it is easier to eliminate the violation on the spot or within the allotted time, thereby removing the order for tinting.

Validity period of the order

Regardless of how long the prescription for tinting lasts, your task is to comply with it. The employee's claim has no statute of limitations.

The order is considered fulfilled when you have eliminated the violation . Usually the period is 10 days, but it may be less.

Actions after receiving a written request to eliminate the offense

What to do if you receive a prescription for tinting? The driver has several options:

Remove the film on the spot or within the allotted time, bringing the car into compliance with the requirements of GOSTs and technical regulations.
Stop using the car, which sounds quite absurd.
Remove the film and stick it again after a certain time until the next meeting with the inspector and the initiation of the next administrative proceeding.
Appeal the fine in court within the period provided by law (10 days). The procedure for checking the degree of shading of glass for compliance with standards involves compliance with a large number of rules. If there are errors in the protocols, the court may side with you. The order itself is not subject to appeal.

Punishment for stopping again

Repeated prosecution, taking into account the fact that the first requirement to eliminate the violation was not fulfilled (there is no certificate of work performed received at the service station), threatens the driver with a fine of 1,000 rubles.

If the first fine of 500 rubles has not been paid, employees can charge the owner of the car under Part 1. Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which implies punishment up to arrest for 15 days.

How to avoid this? It is enough to pay a fine of 500 rubles (250 for the first 20 days) and remove the tint.

Checking the degree of shading of glass: rules

The rules by which the degree of shading of car windows should be checked are set out in GOST R 8.831-2013, which replaced GOST 27902-88.

Measurement conditions:

Air temperature: 25 degrees. (±2 degrees);
Atmospheric pressure – 101 kPa (±4 kPa);
Relative air humidity – 65% (±20%).

The test is carried out with a certified taumeter with a sealed case . A copy of the certificate or the absence of a measuring device from a traffic police officer does not give the right to impose an administrative penalty on the driver.

The measurement conditions specified above must be met. The procedure is performed in the presence of witnesses . Readings are taken at three points on the glass.

Motorists go to various lengths to try to avoid responsibility for tinting. However, it is easier to pay a fine of 250 or 500 rubles and comply with the requirements of a legal representative of the authorities.

If you believe that bringing you to administrative responsibility was illegal (measurements were not taken/were carried out with violations/the employee exceeded his authority, etc.) – file an appeal.

The best decision remains to follow the requirements of the law. By tinting all windows, the driver violates the rules for operating the vehicle.

“Deaf” tinting is attributed to malfunctions in which driving the vehicle is prohibited.
