Penalty for not stopping at the request of the inspector in 2016

The traffic police inspector has the legal right to stop your car. To do this, he usually uses a wand or a loudspeaker. With a gesture, the inspector must indicate to you the place at the curb or sidewalk where you must stop.

If the driver ignores the gesture of the policeman, then according to clause 12.25 part 2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, you will face administrative responsibility in the form a fine of 500-800 rubles.

Reasons why you may be stopped by the traffic police:

violation of traffic rules by you;
the presence of malfunctions and inconsistencies with respect to safety requirements;
tip-off - a car similar to yours “lit up” in violation of traffic rules or illegal actions;
they want to involve you as a witness;
conducting special operations, exercises;
verification of documents - only on posts.

From this it follows that you can be stopped outside the post only for the reasons indicated above, and documents can be checked only in the area of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe stationary post.

Accordingly, if the driver ignored the request to stop, no matter for what reason - inattention or criminality, the inspector can take a number of measures to force you to stop. Usually, information about the car will be transferred to other traffic police posts, where you will be stopped. But in some cases, a chase may follow, and this is already quite serious, since traffic police officers have the right not only to turn on flashing lights and demand by megaphone that the driver stop, but also to use weapons.

With all that said, it's better for you if you stop. If you were stopped outside the post, then the inspector does not have the right to come up and ask for documents, he must explain the reason for the stop - a broken headlight, an unreadable number, an excess, and so on.
