Penalty for not stopping at the request of a traffic police officer 2014

To maintain safety on the roadway, as well as to monitor the compliance of drivers with traffic rules, traffic police officers often resort to stopping vehicles. A situation familiar to everyone: an inspector with his baton stands near his car and monitors traffic, occasionally raising his baton and instructing one of the drivers to stop on the side of the road.

It is also important that, according to the Law on Police, representatives of the police can also demand your stop, but this is only if they have good reasons for that. The traffic police officer has the right to stop the car in the following cases:

• the driver of the car violated the rules of the road;
• the car has a malfunction.

The rules also provide for some other cases when traffic police, traffic police or police officers can stop citizens' cars: during special operations in a given region, when approaching checkpoints and exercise zones, if there is information about the detention of criminals or a stolen car.

If you see an accident on the road and an inspector stops you, then one of two things:

• they want to ask you to be in the role of a witness;
• need to take the injured to the hospital.

It is also worth noting that the usual stop with the requirement - "Show documents", in our time does not work. They have the right to check documents only at stationary posts. If the traffic police officers have any suspicions about you, then before demanding to present documents, they are obliged to clearly explain to you the reason for the stop.

If we talk about the amount of the fine for non-stopping, then it ranges from 500 to 800 rubles. Article 12.25 part two of the Code of Administrative Offenses.

The inspector can stop you with the help of a loudspeaker, but usually they get by with a wave of a striped wand. You need to stop where the inspector indicates.

If the driver ignored the inspector's request, then the consequences can be very different, depending on the reason why they wanted to stop you:

• information will be transferred to another side or to the post on duty;
• the inspector may rush to pursue the intruder.

The pursuit is already serious, while an appeal to the driver will be heard from the loudspeaker. It is better in this case to immediately stop and find an excuse for yourself. The inspector will explain to you the essence of your violation, plus he will add 800 rubles for not stopping. Otherwise, it may even go as far as the use of firearms.

The use of weapons is already an extreme option, but in addition, employees can block roads with trucks and prohibitory traffic signals.

Well, the last thing to say is that you need to stop only in well-lit areas, because there can be scammers in the dark. If on some dark secondary road you see that someone outwardly similar in form to a traffic police inspector is addressing you, then it is better to drive past. In which case, you can write in the protocol that you could not see anything in the dark and drove past.

Here's how not to do it under any circumstances. Video.
