How many cars can a traffic police officer stop at the same time?

A theoretical question has arisen.
And then you often see a queue for medical treatment.

Part 1 Article 28.5.
Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation A protocol on an administrative offense is drawn up immediately after the discovery of an administrative offense.

Unless this comes to mind. Like if you can’t immediately write a protocol, don’t stop it. This is in theory. But in practice, can he answer “as soon as I’m free, I’ll write it up”?

But maybe there is something else from the legal acts?

PS. I didn't find it in the search.

yes, at least everyone. No one has canceled 3 hours yet.

3 hours is already a detention.
With the preparation of a protocol. And only if necessary. It will be very interesting how the need will be justified.

Well, I’m interested in the time BEFORE drawing up any papers. Because Usually a queue forms specifically for the “conversation” in the inspector’s car.

In general, initially it is the number of cars in this queue.

PS.
And “minimum short time” is also an elastic concept :) I stopped 500 cars. healed as quickly as possible. As a result, I reached the last one as quickly as possible in 7 hours.

3 hours - this seems to be from the moment the arrest report was drawn up. With date/time stamp. And here, probably, according to the 297th order, for a minimally short time :)

A minimally short time, taking into account the circumstances)))
After all, he also cannot help but stop the commission of APN.

After all, he also cannot help but stop the commission of APN.

As far as I understand, suppression is an intervention to stop APN? Like the driver was speeding, the inspector stopped him, and therefore stopped the APN. As far as I understand, drawing up a protocol is not a MANDATORY condition? After all, he might let him go.

Maybe.
Due to insignificance, announcing a verbal warning. So far, this is all without reference to legal acts.

Currently there are only 2 restrictions:
1. According to the Code of Administrative Offences, the protocol must be drawn up immediately.
2. According to the instructions, the stop is carried out for the shortest possible time.

If the Code of Administrative Offenses is taken literally, then the protocol should be drawn up immediately. That is, the inspector should not be distracted. In theory. And then should I no longer be distracted even by other APNs?

But this is theoretical.
But in reality? Are there any other regulations on this matter?

He may even go to work with protocol templates.
All that remains is to add the time of the APN and the LVOC data)))

It's good if there are no errors.

A couple of times I challenged protocols in court that confused the gender of a person, his last name, the place where the APN was committed, etc., etc.
Competent templates need to be created, citizen secretaries. And watch the pairing when you insert a new surname. The computer is still a terrible thing. Virtual justice.

LVOC committed a violation there, lives there, a protocol was drawn up by something, the guilt is confirmed by the protocol, the compiler is not familiar, therefore NOND. Deprive rights.

For now, this is all without references to legal acts.

2.9 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Thank you. Is there a plus to this requirement that when a fact of APN is revealed, the IDPS is _OBLIGATED_ to draw up a protocol? :).

As far as I understand Art. 2.9 remains valid even after the protocol has been drawn up?

The question essentially remains open.

Thank you. Is there a plus to this requirement that when a fact of APN is revealed, the IDPS is _OBLIGATED_ to draw up a protocol? :).

no, no. It is enough to write down the Driver, license plate number and article of violation in your service book.

A theoretical question has arisen.
And then you often see a queue for medical treatment.

Part 1 Article 28.5.
Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation A protocol on an administrative offense is drawn up immediately after the discovery of an administrative offense.

But maybe there is something else from the legal acts?

PS.
I didn't find it in the search. The first thing you pay attention to is that this behavior really looks like a restriction of movement, which, by the way, due to its willfulness, IDPS hardly has the right to organize.

when I was stopped for allegedly “oncoming traffic” and held for 20 minutes in the hope of getting money, I asked the IDPS why he doesn’t stop all the cars that are driving like me?
he replied that I can stop no more than 1 driver per IDPS! there were two of them, and in parallel with me, he occasionally stopped another one. Yeah.
I had it too just recently. Just not oncoming traffic. In my opinion, 12.16, although they said 12.15.1. He said that I have a principle - I don’t pay fines on the spot - write a protocol that I agree with the violation, but I don’t agree with the article. So the IDPS told me that I have a very bad principle :) He held me a little longer and let me go :)

I immediately demand that I either start writing a report, or I start calling the traffic police or police desk and rapid movements begin.
Now this is interesting. Quite the right “hautu”. Special thanks for this message :) I’ll take it into account.

If stopped by a traffic police officer. What to do? Driver's license

So, your car was stopped by a traffic police inspector. How to properly build a dialogue with a police officer. Regardless of whether you were stopped legally or without reason, the dialogue should always be built in the same vein and the main thing is not to forget about confidence and try not to be a victim.

First of all, politely say hello and ask the inspector to provide you with an identification card for review.

As a rule, many drivers do not consider it necessary to do this, but in vain. Just like your driver’s license, so does the inspector’s, it may be expired. If in the first case you face a fine, then in the second case this person in uniform is no longer a police officer on duty and does not have any rights to stop the vehicle. The same applies to various extracts from the order, photocopies with a signature from the supposed boss, etc., all this has nothing to do with the Policeman’s ID!

If the inspector begins to stall for time or ignores your request, then in a civilized manner remind him of Art. 5.4 FZP (Federal Law on Police), which discusses in detail the procedure for an employee to contact a citizen.

Ask the inspector to state the reason for the stop and the subsequent purpose.

As practice shows, this question confuses many IDPS, do not be shy and tell him what should be done in such a case. Here's what you need to do:

If you are stopped for a traffic violation, then the reason is accordingly a violation of a paragraph of the traffic rules, which the inspector must name.
After familiarizing you with the evidence of the violation you committed, and this is a photo/video recording or testimony of witnesses, indicate your goal, that is, drawing up a protocol, and only after that, you hand over to him your documents indicated in paragraph 2.1 of the traffic rules.
If the stop was made as part of a special event, then ask the inspector for confirmation in the form of a corresponding extract from the order with a signature (if the inspector refuses, then remind him of Article 5, paragraph 7 of the Federal Law, which states the policeman’s obligation to familiarize the citizen with all documents and materials that directly affect his rights and freedoms. If the inspector still refuses to familiarize you with the supporting papers, do not be lazy and call the duty station. If the event named by the employee is actually taking place, then fulfill all the requirements of the policeman.

How many cars can an inspector stop at the same time?

Very often, drivers on the roads encounter mass vehicle stops by traffic police inspectors and, as a rule, in most cases they are stopped for a routine document check, that is, there is no “interception” plan going around the city or any other special measures, the requirements of which would give employees the right to mass stop and inspection. And as a result, a completely reasonable question arises - how many cars does a car inspector have the right to stop at one time? Let's try to answer it.

There are no restrictions on the number of cars stopped by an inspector in the official regulations, nor in other Federal Laws. The only thing you can rely on is order No. 185 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. And so on in order.

Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Article 28.5 part 1, tells us that, “A protocol on an administrative offense is drawn up immediately after an administrative offense has been committed . That is, if you are stopped, but the employee is in no hurry to come up to you and point out the reason for the stop, you have the right to point out to him a violation of the relevant article of the code, or contact the duty station with a request to call the person in charge to the place to resolve the issue, as a result which your rights have been violated.

Go ahead. Now let's turn to the police officer's job description, 185th order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, paragraph No. 47, according to which - “with the simultaneous detection of violations of traffic rules committed by several road users, measures are taken to suppress violations that pose the greatest danger to the life and health of citizens .

The same order, but now we are interested in paragraph 67 - “having stopped the vehicle, the employee must immediately approach the driver...” . It’s clear that if there are a lot of stopped vehicles, the inspector will not be able to fulfill the requirement of this paragraph of the order, and this already gives you the right to complain about the IDPS being too greedy.

That is, to summarize all of the above, if there are no special events, the inspector has the right to stop one or two cars, and then continue to carry out his difficult service, identifying and suppressing violations of traffic rules.

Driver's rights from the moment of stopping by a traffic police inspector

So what should you do if you are stopped by a traffic police inspector? What are your rights as a driver in this case? Very often, traffic police officers like to operate with a hackneyed stereotype, supposedly the driver has nothing on the road except the traffic rules and he should not know anything else. I would like to ask the inspectors just one question! What about the driver's LICENSE? Doesn't he have them? Apparently, many employees have this exact opinion. And the worst thing is that most drivers agree with them!

The driver of the vehicle, and therefore the Citizen of the Russian Federation, has the rights that are listed in the relevant regulatory legal acts.

The right to photo and video recording. Not for fun, but to collect evidence that will be used as evidence in court. By prohibiting you from filming, the employee thereby violates Order No. 185, paragraph 25, which states that “an employee should not interfere with the use of video and sound recording equipment by a road user, unless prohibited by law. The employee must inform the road user making the recording about the existence of the prohibition.”

According to the Federal Law, Article 5, Clause 7, the police officer is obliged to familiarize you with all documents and materials that directly affect your rights and freedoms. That is, in other words, the inspector stopped you, thereby violating your constitutional rights to free movement (Article 27 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation), accordingly he must justify his action by fulfilling the requirement of the federal police law, Article 5, paragraph 7.

The following rights apply directly if a case of APN is opened against you:

Article 25.1. The person against whom the proceedings are being conducted has the right to familiarize himself with all materials, give explanations, provide evidence, file petitions and challenges, use legal assistance from a defense attorney, etc.
Article 30.1. The right to appeal a decision in an administrative offense case.
Article 30.2 explains the procedure for filing a complaint against a ruling.
Article 30.3 sets a time limit for appeal.

Also, when drawing up a protocol, do not forget about Article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation - you have the right not to testify against yourself and your close relatives, spouse.

In what cases does the inspector have the right to stop a vehicle?

Here you should refer to the official regulations, namely Order No. 185 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, which sets out the grounds for stopping a vehicle by an employee:

Availability of data (orientations, information from the duty officer, other squad, road user, visually recorded circumstances) indicating the involvement of the driver or passengers in the commission of an accident, crime or emergency situation.
Signs of violation of rules and requirements in the field of road safety, identified visually or recorded using technical means.
Availability of data (orientations, information from the duty officer, information from operational and investigative records, other squads, road users) about the use of the vehicle for illegal purposes or grounds to believe that it is wanted.
To interview the driver or passengers about the circumstances of an accident, accident, crime, of which they were or are eyewitnesses.
The need to involve a road user as a witness.
Carrying out administrative and regulatory actions.
The need for a police officer to use a vehicle.
The need to involve the driver in assisting other road users or police officers.
Carrying out, on the basis of administrative acts of the heads of internal affairs bodies, management bodies of the State Traffic Inspectorate, special events related to inspection in accordance with the goals, relevant special events of vehicles, persons moving in them and transported goods.
Checking documents for the right to use and drive a vehicle, documents for the vehicle and the cargo being transported, as well as identification documents for the driver and passengers (only at stationary posts).

In all other cases, if stopping your car by an employee does not fall under the above points of the administrative regulations, it is without cause and illegal.

IDPS stops a car on the highway at night

It should be remembered that the requirement to stop the vehicle before it actually stops is always legal, but only then, depending on the requirements and subsequent actions of the inspector, do you determine their legality and, based on this, decide what to do - write a complaint, file go to court against IDPS or leave everything as is.

Therefore, regardless of where and when an employee stops you - on a highway (outside a populated area), at night in the dark, you as a driver are obliged to stop, otherwise Article 12.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses may be applied to you - failure to comply with a legal requirement to stop, entails a fine of 500 to 800 rubles.

Driver detention

When we are stopped by a traffic police officer on the highway, we can often encounter a delay in checking compliance with traffic rules. This can happen for various reasons. Either he really suspects you of something, then you need to find out the validity of his intentions, or this is being done on purpose. The second option occurs more often, and may be caused by the traffic cop’s personal hostility towards the driver. Inspectors are often asked to complete the inspection as quickly as possible, explaining their haste due to an urgent meeting or plane departure. Such requests may be perceived negatively and the answer may be the phrase: “I have the right to detain you for three hours.” In this episode we find out whether employees interpret the law correctly when they detain a driver?

Draw your attention to

It is necessary to distinguish between “Detention” and “Stop” by the traffic police inspector on the highway. As for “Detention,” we will talk about this later in the article, but regarding “Stop,” I would like to note in advance that we have a special article on this topic.

And the most important question for all car enthusiasts.

How long can a traffic police inspector detain a car?

This applies to an ordinary stop and document check (when you are simply stopped on the road).

“The procedure for detaining vehicles is defined in Article 27.13 of the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses. In addition, the detention of vehicles can be carried out in the manner prescribed by Article 11 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the Police”. In accordance with the Administrative Regulations (approved by Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated March 2, 2009 No. 185), the timing for the execution of administrative procedures (actions) by traffic police officers, including the detention of vehicles, should be the minimum necessary for their implementation based on the specific situation. Actions of employees that entail an unreasonable increase in the time of execution of administrative procedures (actions) in relation to road users are appealed pre-trial (to the heads of the relevant combat units of the State Traffic Inspectorate, to the higher management bodies of the State Traffic Inspectorate) and in court.”

The Code of Administrative Offenses (CAO) contains all the necessary information to understand this issue. Chapter 27 is entirely devoted to the issue of detention of citizens and it states that:

“Detention is one of the measures to ensure proceedings in cases of administrative offenses”

Enforcement measures are applied to suppress the offense. Accordingly, they can only be used if there is an administrative violation. These include:

detention;
delivery;
Personal inspection;
inspection of things;
vehicle inspection;
suspension from driving;
examination for intoxication;
detention of a vehicle;
prohibition of operating a vehicle.

According to the Administrative Code, administrative detention is a restriction of the freedom of an individual for a short period. It is used in exceptional cases when correct and timely decision-making is necessary during the consideration of an administrative violation or the execution of a decision in a case.

"P. 192. The basis for administrative detention, that is, short-term restriction of the freedom of an individual, is the need to ensure the correct and timely consideration of a case of an administrative offense, the execution of a decision in a case of an administrative offense to impose an administrative penalty in the form of administrative arrest.” Order No. 185 of 03/02/2009

To carry out the arrest, it is necessary to deliver the driver to a special room at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation:

"P. 193. To carry out administrative detention, a person is taken to the duty station of a department or internal affairs body, to a stationary traffic police post, which has a specially designated room for holding administratively detained persons.” Order No. 185 of 03/02/2009

This paragraph of the order tells us that at the stop site, the traffic police inspector cannot detain the driver. And his actions have an incorrect interpretation and are not based on the law.

Rights of the detainee

A detained driver has the right to notify relatives, management at work or school, and a legal defender. Traffic police officers must immediately implement his request.

"P. 194. At the request of a detained person, relatives, the administration at the place of work (study), as well as a defense lawyer are notified of his whereabouts as soon as possible.
p. 195. His parents or other legal representatives must be notified of the administrative detention of a minor.” Order No. 185 of 03/02/2009

The traffic police officers must explain to the detained driver his rights and obligations, and a corresponding note is made about this in the protocol on administrative detention. It also states:

date and place of compilation;
position, surname and initials of the person who compiled the protocol;
information about the detained driver;
time, place and motives for detention.

The protocol is signed by the person who compiled it and the driver. If the driver does not agree with the actions of the employees and does not intend to sign the protocol, an appropriate note is made in it. And one more important point - a copy of the delivery protocol is provided to the driver only at his request.

"P. 197. The detained person is explained his rights and obligations under the Code, about which a corresponding entry is made in the protocol on administrative detention.
p. 198. On administrative detention, in accordance with the provisions of Article 27.4 of the Code, a protocol is drawn up, which indicates the date and place of its preparation, position, special rank, surname and initials of the employee who compiled the protocol, information about the detained person, time, place and reasons for the detention " Order No. 185 of 03/02/2009

According to the administrative code of the Russian Federation, detention is carried out for a period of no more than three hours. If, upon arrest, it turns out that the driver is being investigated for an administrative offense, the penalty for which may be arrest, for example, when a case is initiated for failure to pay a fine for violating traffic rules (Article 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation), then in this case the driver will be detained may be extended up to two days. It should be noted that the period of administrative punishment begins to be calculated from the moment the detained person is delivered.

"P. 201. The period of administrative detention should not exceed three hours, with the exception of the case of proceedings on an administrative offense that entails administrative arrest as one of the administrative penalties, when the person against whom the proceedings are being conducted may be subject to administrative detention for no more than 48 hours." Order No. 185 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated March 2, 2009

For the detention of detained persons, there are specially designated premises in the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or special institutions that are created by the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in the prescribed manner. The government determines the general conditions of detention of detainees, food standards, as well as the procedure for their medical care. All premises or institutions used to hold detained persons must comply with sanitary standards. The possibility of unauthorized abandonment of these temporary detention facilities must be excluded.

From all of the above, we can conclude that only such short-term restriction of freedom will be considered as detention, in which the driver was taken to a specially designated room, as people say - “monkey barn”, for his further detention.

"P. 201. The period of administrative detention of a person is calculated from the moment of delivery, and of a person in a state of intoxication, from the time of his sobering up...” Order No. 185 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated March 2, 2009

What to do if the inspection is delayed?

The next day after the incident, it is necessary to draw up a complaint, which should be addressed to the higher management of the traffic police. It must reflect the following data:

stop date and time;
stopping place;
Full name of the inspector, badge number;
the reason for the stop, if it was announced, and if not, then write “without explaining the reason for the stop”;
wording of the complaint: the inspection was delayed by the inspector, the purpose of these actions was not explained. He said that he had the right to detain him for 3 hours. I did not agree, I referred to Chapter 27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and paragraphs 192 - 201 of Order No. 185 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated March 2, 2009, that the driver’s detention begins from the moment he is delivered to a special room and in the presence of an administrative offense. The mentioned traffic police inspector was not familiar with these standards and did not act in accordance with the law. I ask you to check this fact;
witness statements, if any;
evidence of these actions (dictaphone recording, video recording).

“Damage caused by the illegal use of measures to ensure proceedings in a case of an administrative offense is subject to compensation in the manner prescribed by civil law”

It is best to deliver the complaint yourself, since you should be given a copy on the spot, signed and dated.

You should not think that the truth can always be on the side of power structures. Know your rights and enforce them. Good luck to you. In the next issue we will touch on the issue of searching for witnesses.

How many minutes later should a traffic police inspector approach the driver after stopping?

The traffic lawyer answers how long the driver needs to wait for the traffic police inspector after stopping on the highway or in the city.

Stopping by a traffic police inspector to check documents is quite a common procedure. And although for many it evokes a lot of not the most positive emotions, it is still pointless to challenge the duty of the traffic police to control order on the roads.

However, the traffic police, in turn, are obliged to comply with the requirements of the law and administrative regulations that guide them in the performance of their main functions. Our lawyers regularly receive questions on the hotline regarding the procedure for stopping drivers. Some of them directly relate to situations when a police officer is in no hurry to approach a car.

Question 1: I was stopped by a traffic police officer, followed by five more cars. Since we stopped anywhere, he began to approach the cars not in order of stopping, but in order - as they began. At the 15th minute I left, and a few minutes later a police car caught up with me. The result is a fine for failure to comply with the inspector’s request to stop, 800 rubles. How many minutes does the inspector have to approach the driver?

Question 2: I often meet police officers on the federal highway who periodically stop me. They stop and stand aside for about 10 minutes, discussing their business. And then they also claim that it was I who did not come out to meet them, because they “control the flow” and cannot leave.

As we can see, cases of abuse by the traffic police do occur. And yes, this is pure abuse.

After how many minutes should the traffic police inspector approach the driver?

Current legislation establishes a certain procedure for interaction between the traffic police inspector and drivers through a by-law - an administrative regulation approved by Order No. 664.

This document regulates all the subtleties of the inspector’s approach to the driver, the procedure for carrying out all activities and other subtleties of the work.

The order of stopping and approaching the driver was not left without attention. Paragraph 89 of the Regulations gives very clear instructions: the inspector is obliged to immediately approach the driver after stopping, tell the reason, ask for documents, and so on.

If interpreted literally, “without delay” means that the policeman does not have the right to be distracted by any other matters other than “working off” the stopped driver. In fact, stopping several cars at once is also prohibited, but at the same time, the policeman is obliged to stop the crime and will easily explain his actions if it comes to complaints.

In reasonable estimates, “without delay” can hardly be more than 3-5 minutes, although the exact figure is not specified in any regulation.

Unfortunately, on highways and in the city, police do not always behave correctly, allowing long delays from the moment they stop until they approach the driver. But you can fight this too.

What to do if the inspector does not come to you for a long time after stopping

You can’t just pick up and leave, as not very competent authors of various publications often advise. In this case, liability under Part 2 of Art. 12.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation for failure to comply with the requirement to stop the car. And it doesn’t matter that you stopped, waited for the policeman and moved on - the court in such a situation and without evidence of a delay will be 100% on the side of the police.

Therefore, adhere to the following procedure:

Immediately after stopping, turn the recorder towards the driver's window;
Comment on the situation out loud - time is such and such, stopped. I'm waiting for so much - it's not suitable.
You can take a video of what the inspector is doing.
After waiting 10 minutes, call the traffic police hotline and report your exact location and situation.
Let them know that you cannot wait any longer and, having notified them, are leaving the stopping place.

You may be advised to still wait for the inspector, so it is better to be prepared to invite the operator to wait with you. After another couple of minutes you can move on.

In general, this list of mandatory actions is sufficient to avoid liability under Art. 12.25 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Often, by the way, the police do not even react to a car that has driven away if they are very busy processing other drivers. Subconsciously, they understand that if the driver stopped, honestly waited for some time and only then moved on, then with a high degree of probability everything is in order. And few people want to leave their post for the sake of a 500-ruble fine.

If the traffic police still catches up with you, what should you do?

First of all, stop immediately. You should not play with law enforcement officers, because subsequently part 2 of Art. 12.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation can transform into disobedience with the prospect of arrest. Of course, you can challenge such an article - but it takes a long time and the chances of first being detained and only then defending your rights are too real.

After stopping, provide the following information in response to complaints about leaving the stopping place:

Everything was recorded by the DVR;
The hotline accepted the request;
The inspector is on video;
You are in a hurry and if a protocol is drawn up, then a complaint will be filed against the actions of the traffic police officer in court, and the fine will be challenged in an appeal.

Note to drivers. What to do if stopped by a traffic police officer

Your car is stopped
Recommendation:
- Getting out of the car is not the responsibility of the driver.
- Listen to the inspector who comes up to you, he MUST introduce himself and state
the reason for the stop.
- If he didn’t give the reason for the stop, don’t hesitate to ask him about it yourself.
— If the inspector says: “checking documents,” know that
stopping a car outside a stationary post for the purpose of checking documents is directly prohibited by
order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation No. 297. In this case, you can ask the question: “inspector, why are you
violating official discipline?”

- Next, the inspector, switching to falsetto, explains that you (a civilian)
do not at all have to know the internal orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, much less mention them
out loud.
You have the right to know the orders of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not for official use, in accordance with Article 29, paragraph 4 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation

— Politely ask the inspector not to raise his tone when talking to you
(this is prohibited by Order No. 297, clause 18.2).

— Ask the inspector to present your official identification card open
.
The right to get acquainted with his document gives you the SDA clause 2.4 Doesn’t want to present it?
We warn him and call “02”. We are reporting about a certain person dressed in a uniform similar to a traffic police officer who refuses to present
his identification.

- Presenting it does not mean showing the crust and quickly hiding it back.
You have every right to copy the inspector’s data from his official ID.
This will be useful in case you file a complaint.

- Only after that, submit your documents for verification.

Within 10 days we will draw up a complaint against the actions of the inspector (Appendix No. 1)

Take note:
If, outside a stationary traffic police post, an inspector explained the reason for the stop by “checking documents”
and you indicated this in the protocol, know that all further evidence will be obtained
in violation of the law! Article 26.2 part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The protocol is subject to cancellation.

Explanation:
According to Order No. 297 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, clause 13.7:
The grounds for stopping vehicles are:
a) Violation of traffic rules by drivers or passengers;
(absence of a maintenance ticket in the lower right corner of the windshield)
b) Availability of information about the involvement of the driver and passengers in the accident
c) The vehicle is wanted
d) The need to interview the driver about the circumstances of the accident
e) Compliance with court or bailiff decisions to prohibit persons movement
f) The need to attract a vehicle to provide assistance
g) Checking documents for the right to use and drive vehicles
, as well as documents for the vehicle and the cargo being transported -
only at stationary traffic police posts, police checkpoints and checkpoints.

During special events, it is allowed to stop vehicles outside of stationary posts
in order to check driver's and registration documents, as well as documents for the transported cargo. It is prohibited to stop vehicles unless necessary.

“A stationary post of the road patrol service is a place of duty by the road patrol service, equipped with special office premises, equipped with operational-technical and special means, engineering and other structures, as well as the area of responsibility assigned to it.” The area of responsibility of the post is the territory of the post with the adjacent section of the road (terrain), within which the road patrol unit performs its functional duties. When trying to check and punish you for something at a great distance from the nearest traffic police post on the basis of the statement that this area is supposedly included in the area of responsibility of such and such a post, doubt and ask for a diagram of this very zone. Booths, cars, and roadside trees are not considered stationary posts.

The fact that a special event is taking place will be clear from the situation: traffic police at every turn, reinforced by riot police, everyone in bulletproof vests or full dress uniform, information from the media, etc. On the road, official duties are performed exclusively by traffic police. Can officers from other police agencies stop you? Yes, they can, the “Police Law” gives them such a right. The traffic rules (in paragraph 2.1.1) do not distinguish between traffic police and other structures. But such a stop, with the exception of a stop by a local police officer, should alert you. For each structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and for each position, the orders clearly state when an employee has the right to stop a car while performing their official duties (Article 18 of the “Police Law”). For example, a police officer may stop a vehicle to restrict access to the uncoupling zone or to check documents.
