Video: Know Your Rights! 2024, July
The rights and obligations of traffic police officers are great. Openness and reach for representatives of the law is a guarantee of peace and security of honest and responsible citizens. The article examines the most common cases of contacts of road users, which are traffic police and drivers.
A bit of chronology
The State Automobile Inspectorate (GAI) was born on July 3, 1936, when there were more carts on the roads of some settlements than motor vehicles. The first 7 departments of the new law enforcement education, consisting of 57 employees, enthusiastically began to clean up the traffic arteries, create car registers, deal with technical and educational issues, search and punish the perpetrators of traffic accidents. Experience is gained from analysis of the causes of accidents.
Traffic police have the right to access to resolve many issues. With their advice, new brands of Soviet cars are being created. In 1939, the first rules of the road were laid out.
The work of the inspection quickly yielded noticeable results.
During World War II, women who went to the front were successfully replaced by women. They solved the problem of mobilizing vehicles for army needs, controlled the consumption of fuels and lubricants, continued to engage in professional activities in the rear. Many employees of the traffic police were awarded high prizes for the organization and functioning of the "road of life" laid to the besieged Leningrad.
Since 1956, new rules have been introduced. So, drunk drivers began to be deprived of their rights. Driving without a driver’s license is prohibited. Compliance with these laws was also monitored by traffic police.
The prototype of the traffic police units was created in 1969. Until now, this structure is indispensable in the organization of traffic.
Since 1993, motorists (and not only) have been inspired by Autoradio, sponsored by the traffic police.
In 1998, the GAI was renamed the STSI (by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 711 of June 15).
Since 2004, traffic police have taken the direction of the humanization of their work, the use of European experience.
In all regions, the activity of young inspectors has resumed as an important segment in the program for educating the population in the spirit of participants in safe traffic on the roads.
Nowadays
The result is an increase in the computerization of society. The traffic police website has the opportunity to view all unpaid fines for car numbers and registration certificates. The number of visits to the site can be envied by pop stars of a global scale. The fine at the level of administrative responsibility from January 1, 2016 is reduced by 2 times if paid within 20 days from the date of imposition.
Since October 20, 2017, a new regulation has been in force, which formulates the procedure for ensuring road safety, names the powers of traffic police officers.
Stop or not
The duties of a traffic police officer may interest the driver during contact with him. The greatest chance to communicate with the inspector comes if, at his request, interrupt the planned movement in the vehicle. Does the driver have to stop against his will?
Yes, I must. But the order to stop should be clearly expressed, with the raising and holding of the rod in the direction of the vehicle of interest and more powerful means of influencing the organs of hearing and sight.
Without an exceptional need, a traffic police officer must not stop the driver:
- At the foot of the hill or on the descent from it.
- In areas with limited visibility.
- Before intersections and train crossings, in tunnels and on bridges.
If the inspector brakes the driver in such a place, it means that there is a danger ahead or a vehicle is needed to capture the offender. The first duty of a traffic police officer when stopping a vehicle is to demonstrate a service certificate and explain the purpose of his actions.
Get out of the car
If the inspector does not ask the driver to leave the cabin, he may not go out. According to the instructions, the representative of the traffic police must come from the driver's seat. If a car enthusiast is invited as a witness, he may refuse this case. The rights and obligations of a traffic police officer and a driver intersect in the field of maintaining road safety and car ownership. Therefore, it is better to get out of the car to perform such actions:
- Inspection or inspection of a vehicle or cargo.
- Elimination of technical malfunctions.
- Reconciliation of part numbers prescribed in documents.
- Suspension of the driver from further control due to intoxication, illness or aggressiveness,
Rules for working with the "green snake"
The duty of a traffic police officer when disembarking a driver due to a state of alcohol or drug intoxication is to call two witnesses and draw up a protocol. In order to have something to enter into it, the inspector conducts an examination of the client:
- Concentrates on his poses.
- Tries to parse and classify speech.
- Sniffs the air within the aura of the driver.
- He suggests exhaling into a breathalyzer.
If the driver has enough reasons to defend his rights briskly, he may demand a medical examination, saying so in a signed act. Then the inspector draws up another protocol, which indicates the fact of a citizen being sent to a medical institution. Again involved witnesses or photo, video, audio means of recording information.
To deliver the detainee to the place of examination is an official duty of a traffic police officer of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of Russia.
The new order prescribes to return the driver to the vehicle if suspicions of taking drugs or alcohol were wrong.
Inspection and Examination
The first term refers to a superficial overview of the interior. The second is a thorough check of things, cargo, car components, documents of all pass. The driver should only allow searches if the inspector reports suspicions that the vehicle contains evidence of a crime committed or committed.
The compilation of the protocol and the involvement of two witnesses during the inspection is the responsibility of the traffic police. Witnesses can be replaced by videotaping what is happening. Show everything that the inspector asks - the duty of the driver. A traffic police officer and the whole process can be shot on a photo or video.
Driver's license
Some motorists spread rumors that the traffic police have no right to verify the identity of the driver, to require other documents relating to the vehicle, cargo and passengers. The proposal to present a driver’s license is the responsibility of the traffic police when stopping the vehicle in case of:
- Spot checks of drivers' documents in order to strengthen traffic safety and the rule of law.
- Identification of violations by the traffic rules participant.
- To obtain information on the commission by a given citizen of a crime or administrative offense.
- If the car to be stopped is wanted. In such a situation, inspection of the car, cargo, reconciliation of registration numbers, numbers of functional units and assemblies can be carried out.
Sometimes the rights and obligations of a traffic police officer prompt him to deprive the driver of the ability to drive a car or a motor vehicle. After drawing up an act of administrative offense, the inspector informs the offender that within three days after the event he must submit a document for the right to drive to the traffic police department.
Temporary vehicle confiscation
Handing over a car to a traffic policeman is a very rare event.
The inspector has the right to take for the performance of his duties a vehicle of an individual or legal entity, except for vehicles with dangerous goods or public transport with passengers. Such a need may arise in such situations:
- Chasing a criminal.
- Conducting rescue operations.
- Towing emergency vehicles to clear the carriageway.
- Travel for emergency assistance to a victim of crime or colleagues.
The usual duty of a traffic police officer is to present a certificate in expanded form. Despite the rush, the driver is advised to read it quickly so as not to become an assistant to the offender.
If the situation does not threaten the life and health of a civilian, then the owner remains behind the wheel, and the inspector, having named the destination, can only adjust the route. In pursuit of the criminal, a traffic police officer drops everyone out of the car, saying in which department you can get the vehicle back.
You can pick up the car immediately as soon as it is free. The duty officer is obliged to deliver the citizen to his vehicle. If necessary, the driver may ask to make an entry in the waybill about the time of use and mileage. In the event of damage using video and photography, their nature is described. Everything is documented. Damage is compensated through compulsory insurance.
Hot news in the winter cold
In Moscow, the rally “Police Santa Claus” is taking place, within the framework of which traffic police officers conduct truly amazing lessons in schools, attend boarding schools for children with disabilities, and congratulate motorists on holidays. It looks especially impressive when the holiday inspector is from bushes romantically decorated with snow and hoarfrost.
Conclusion
The main responsibility of a chipboard employee is to ensure safety on the country's roads. It is for this reason that he makes sure that all owners of the vehicle, while driving, strictly abide by the rules of the road. Each driver is required to obey the legal requirements of the traffic police.
