The reason for stopping the vehicle by DPS officers

Every motorist faced a situation when on the road a traffic police officer waved his striped wand, demanding to stop. The reason can be different. Each driver is simply obliged to know on what basis the police can stop him. It's just not allowed to do this. There is an Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, which specifies the legitimate reasons for stopping the vehicle. It is better if each driver is familiar with this document so that there are no misunderstandings on the road.

Reasonable reasons for stopping the machine

If you carefully study Order No. 185 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation of March 2, 2009, you can get acquainted with the justified reasons on the basis of which the inspector has the right to stop personal transport:

1. If there are obvious violations of the rules of the road on the part of the driver, which are fixed with the aid of the device or visually. Here you can include:

• Passage to the red traffic light.
• Overtaking in the place where it is forbidden.
• The speed recommended on this section of the track is exceeded.

2. The reasons for stopping the car are sometimes incomprehensible to drivers, but sometimes the inspector has information that suspects in a crime or a traffic accident are moving in the car.

3. If, according to the intelligence of the operational summary, the car is wanted, then there is every reason to stop it.

4. If the inspector has information that in the car there is an important witness of an incident or a crime from which it is necessary to take testimony.

5. The reason for the stop may be the need to use the driver as a witness.

6. The need for regulatory action may also require the machine to stop.

7. If a car is urgently needed for victims, medical workers or police officers, this is also a legitimate reason for stopping the vehicle by 2016 by traffic police.

8. The employees can stop the car if operational measures are taken. But for this, the police must necessarily have the appropriate documents that they can show to drivers.

According to statistics, the most common reason for stopping a vehicle (2016) by employees is document verification. But car enthusiasts should know that such a procedure is mandatory only at the stationary post of the DPS. If the stop is carried out in an unauthorized place, then the driver has the right not to show documents or require orientation, according to which the check is carried out.

It must also be remembered that documents for verification can be provided only to employees of traffic police or traffic police, other services may not require them from the driver.

As a legitimate reason for stopping the vehicle's DPS, the need to check the trunk can be considered. This is quite legitimate, but in the process of screening a protocol must be drawn up and the presence of witnesses is necessary.

What the driver should do after stopping

According to the rules, the driver must stop, if required by a traffic police officer, and the reason for stopping the vehicle (in 2016, the rules are confirmed) can be any. After stopping, you must perform the following actions:

1. Stop the car in such a way that it does not interfere with the movement of other motorists, unless the exact parking spot for the police is specified.
2. It is necessary not to forget to turn on the signal of the right turn and park on the roadside.
3. If there is no confidence in the correct choice of the stopping place, then you can turn on the alarm, so that there is an excuse in the form of a transport failure to explain the wrong parking, because police can find fault with this.
4. If the driver did not calculate and stopped too far from the inspector, then he can pass back or wait until the traffic police officer approaches himself.

Regardless of the reason for stopping the car, the employee must introduce himself and show his documents to the car enthusiast, and then sound the ground for stopping.

The correct order of a stop of transport

The reasons for stopping traffic police may be different, but there are some rules that police officers must follow when stopping a vehicle:

1. When giving a signal to stop, the traffic police officer should indicate the parking place. The stop there should be allowed.
2. The driver does not have the right to stop the car in the wrong place, but there are exceptions to this rule:

• Emergency situations related to the suppression of illegal activities.
• Regulatory measures.
• Obstruction of harm to life and health.
• A patrol car can specify a specific location.

3. If the employees stop the car, they can not use it to chase the offender. They can ask for help, but only the owner must manage the tool.

When a forced stop is possible

There are compelling reasons for stopping the vehicle, then for this, employees can use:

• Technical means: batons, electric shock, gas weapons.
• Traffic lights or traffic lights , which mean a complete stop of traffic.
• Employees can block the road with a service car with the alarm activated.
• If the situation permits, DPS officers can use the service weapon.

After a full stop of transport, the employee should approach the car from the driver's side and introduce himself, as well as the reason for the stop.

What documents must be presented to a traffic police officer

After you are stopped, the DPS employee has the right to demand the following documents:

• Rights.
• Insurance.
• Certificate of registration for the machine.
• If the transport is not personal, you must show a travel document or a document confirming the right to transport passengers and the route.
• If a special sign is installed on the car, you will have to produce a document, this is a proof, such as an ID card.

All these documents the driver has the right to provide through the window of the car, there is absolutely no need to leave, regardless of the reason for stopping the traffic police officers. A car enthusiast must leave the car if:

• A malfunction has been detected in the car and must be urgently rectified.
• There are signs of drinking alcohol.
• If it is necessary to inspect the machine or check the numbers on the engine or other components.
• It is required to issue documents fixing the violation.

The driver does not have to get into the patrol car if the police demand it. He can not refuse only if the DPS officers have grounds for his arrest or arrest.

Driving under the influence of drugs

On the road there are cases when the traffic police officers simply can not stop the car. This is drunk driving, which is noticeable in the uncertain driving, committing traffic violations.

To suspect the presence of intoxication, employees after a stop can by the smell of alcohol, slurred speech, inadequate behavior. It is possible to fix the violation only after the examination. It can be conducted in the presence of witnesses or if a video is recorded. If employees have an alcohol test, then the procedure is carried out at the stopping place, in the absence of a driver, they are sent to a medical institution.

If intoxication is confirmed, the driver will have to say goodbye to his car, most likely, to pay a fine and lose the rights for a certain period, which is determined by the court. But if alcohol is not found, then traffic police officers are required to deliver the driver to his car.

When the car is sure to stop the inspector

When a traffic police officer works on the road for a long time, he already intuitively feels which car should be stopped in the first place. These signs are not known to all drivers, but you can get to know them below:

1. If the car rides, wagging along the road, abruptly brakes or accelerates, then 100% can be sure that the car will stop. The first thing the inspector comes up with is the thought that the driver is drunk, but a person who suddenly feels sick can behave this way. Then the stop can save his life, the staff will call an ambulance.
2. If the car enthusiast, in the hope that the inspector has distracted and does not look in his direction, commits a violation, then the stop is inevitable.
3. If the inspector sees that the car enthusiast before the post makes a sharp overhaul, then he may have a suspicion that the driver avoids meeting with the DPS.
4. Even too cautious riding causes suspicion among inspectors, and this is also a common reason for stopping. Policemen already know that those who ride without rights or have over-traveled the day before are too cautious on the road.
5. If the numbers are poorly visible on the car, then in almost 100% of the cases the driver will be stopped.
6. Visible damage can also cause the inspector to slow you down.
7. Stopped are motorists who like to blink headlights, warning others about a meeting with traffic police.
8. If towing of the car is carried out, then they may also stop to make sure that the theft is not made.
9. If your car is very similar to the one that is on the wanted list, then the stop is inevitable.

Agree, these reasons for stopping the vehicle staff are well founded.

Checking documents on the road

Quite often motorists meet with traffic police on the roads, which stop almost all in a row, explaining this by a routine check of documents.

Drivers should be aware that such a procedure is allowed only at the DPS post, if you are stopped for this purpose in an unidentified place, then this excess of authority, unless the police have a very important reason for this.

The motorist has the full right not to produce documents, if the check is carried out in an unauthorized place or there is no special orientation, which the road inspector should show.

Nuances in the legislation of 2016-2017

At least once for all his driving experience motorist encountered police officers, who are not dressed in uniform, but in casual clothes. This was explained by the conduct of hidden patrols to identify violations.

In 2017, the law amended, which prohibits this type of activity. If patrolling is carried out, the employee must be in uniform. If a motorist is stopped by a man in civilian clothes and appears to be an employee of the DPS, he has the right not to respond to his signals and go on.

It is quite another matter if the car stops the employee in the form, and the driver does not react. Then he has the right to follow the vehicle and apply light or sound signals to force the driver to stop. If the motorist does not react in any way, the auto-inspector is allowed to use the loudspeaker or force stop.

The legislation regulates the process of stopping the vehicle, it would be nice if the motorists were acquainted with it to know what could be the reasons for stopping the vehicle by DPS officers.

There is one more innovation. On the roads passing the city, DPS officers can stop the car only if they are patrolling in the service vehicle with a flasher and color scheme.

If patrolling is carried out secretly, and the police car does not have a special coloring, then they do not have the right to stop motorists. There is one more addition: if an expired validity period of the power of attorney for transport management was found during the check, the employees should help to get to the city or other settlement.

Recommendations for communicating with the inspector

Quite often, when a motorist is halted by a traffic police officer, the driver starts to protest loudly and irritably, resent that is fundamentally wrong. Here are some recommendations that will help to establish communication, no matter what the reason for stopping the car:

• Communicate need calm and polite. The employee is in the performance of his duties, so insults can be fraught with the application of additional sanctions.
• If you are trying to press or intimidate, do not give in.
• Defend your case, if you are 100% sure of it, but do it calmly.
• Prove your rightness, use the concepts of the rules of the road, even if you do not remember them exactly.
• We should never forget about our rights, but we must remember that DPS employees, while carrying out their work, also have them.

If, during communication with a traffic police officer, you have doubts about the lawfulness of his actions, you must ask him to provide a service certificate. The regulation establishes that the functions of a traffic police officer can be performed by an inspector only on the basis of an executive order. If there is none, then his actions are illegal. The car enthusiast has the right to ask for a phone number to call the duty officer and make sure there is an order for this guard.

Conclusion

No driver is insured on the road from a meeting with a DPS officer. Most often, the reason for stopping is the presentation of penalties for violation of traffic rules or committing an offense on the road. If the driver drives the vehicle in a sober manner, observes all the rules, is polite to the same motorists on the road, then the probability of stopping the traffic police is small.

It would be superfluous for every car enthusiast to get a little educated in terms of studying their rights to be able to resist the illegal onslaught of police officers, and this also happens. When leaving for the road, every car enthusiast should know that he takes responsibility not only for his life, but also for the lives of pedestrians.
