Experience with the police

Опыт общения с полицией

In the beginning a few words about the police and the police: what is their difference?

Police (FR. Police; .gr. ἡπολιτεία – state, city)

Police (lat. militia “host”, “service”, “trip”, “road”, “chivalry”, “militia”, “right”, “law”, “order”) equivalent of the police.

As can be seen from the explanations, the term “militia” is more vague than “police”.

Police “appeared” to us after 1917 to replace the hated tsarist police, constantly persecuted revolutionaries.

However, in all countries of the world use the name “police”. Maybe that’s why in the Russian Federation in 2011 “militia” was renamed into “police”.

However, for example, Belarus has refrained so far from such a step. One of the barriers to this is the folk memory of the traitors, “Polizei” during the Second world war. There are other obstacles, both financial and moral.

The police (militia) is a system of state bodies and services for the protection of public order and stability in the country, region, region. It provides a wide range of functions, the set of which varies in different countries. Main functions: maintaining features of the state, protection of the rights of citizens and companies, among them also the authority to use methods of coercion and persuasion, as well as prevention (prevention), the prevention, detection and disclosure of crimes and other offenses.

Public opinion about the police (militia). Polls show that the majority believes that it does not cope with their responsibilities. Reasons: the negative qualities of the people working in it, the presence of “selfish” motivation, rudeness, indifference and irresponsibility. And the reasons for this poor financial situation and low qualification of staff, lack of discipline and order; why the police are people greedy, lazy, unemployed.

The surveys also revealed the opinion of people: they fear the police even more than criminal elements. Most militia disaffected youth under the age of 18 years, she considers the actions of the police towards them is always unjustified.

But trying to change this state; only a few examples. Known the President Bitch-shvili immediately increased the salaries of the police 2 times, so they had something to lose! All indoor mounted transparent door, for public inspection? Minister the count-of-count-ant admitted that the heads of all the offenses of their subordinates are responsible. And therefore they must meet in the first place – including immediate dismissal! Exceptionally effective measure; by the way used in other countries.

A well-known law: without control, without criticism, without opposition, i.e. without feedback, any system may not be strong enough!

Several events from personal experience.

In adolescence a relative gave me a motorcycle. Was very glad: “what Russian does not love fast driving!

Somehow the other day showed the streets of the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. So there they are, all filled with cars, and motorcycles; and it’s great – why the city stemming machines, because the best bike in all respects!

Received a certificate for a motorcycle no problem: just read the rules carefully, answered the questions of the ticket and driving – drove through the area a couple of meters and it was the end.

First was a young inexperienced driver, so began the adventure into the roads and the accumulation of experience. Most dangerous violations: hasty overtaking, speeding and inattention. One of the rules: do not be distracted from driving, be careful not to drive tired or – God forbid! – drunk, regardless of the degree of intoxication, to abide by the rules. This is my experience: drove drunk – reckless; driving tired – fell asleep at the wheel and barely escaped a collision; was driving, talking with a co – worker crashed into a car.

The employee is asked to bring a second helmet I had. Refused, but he persuaded and immediately … and senior Lieutenant stopped and fined, noting that if I gave my helmet to the passenger, he would understand me and not be punished. For some reason, and I always had to deal with art. l-Ter! The score was 0:1.

Was driving down the street, noticing a policeman on the roadside, staring at him, he in turn, also paid attention to me and told me to stop. Examining the document, stated that I had exceeded the speed. I began to argue a speed limit sign in this area I know because I go here often. He insisted, exceeded de, it speed can accurately determine and without the device. And I didn’t give up: I have the same before the eyes of the speedometer, i.e. the speed not exceeded. He: no, still exceeded. I: no, is not exceeded. No, exceeded. No, is not exceeded. What to do: the word of one against word of another. Finally he gave up, saying, still exceeded, but the ID returned. The score was 1:1.

Stopped at the three-way intersection in accordance with the rules. I approached the Sergeant and stating that I have violated the rules, took away the identity. I had to go to GAI. There was, again, art. l-NT. He silently returned the ID, they say, all him, not me! – okay. I tried to resist that Sergeant doesn’t know the rules, why is he allowed contact with drivers, etc. that way It closely for some time, looked at me, and then, so clearly and said: all clear, go, go, go. it’s a tie, the score became 2:2.

Left the district town. On the road at the intersection have any congestion. But I’m on the bike, I maneuverability. So walked to the left and cars on a green light crossed the intersection. Outside of the town caught up with me a motorcycle policeman, who told me to stop. He said that I have exceeded the speed because the town sign restrictions. I argued that I could leave directly from the town, so that sign could not know. He silently made a hole in the card. My outrage and a threat to complain, he gave his name, and sailed away. It was again art. l-NT as well!

As the fellow told his story of how he defended their rights by contacting “higher”. Sat down to write the complaint and I. Outlining everything in order, looked at the pass: and how exactly the rule was incorrectly punished. Appeared: for roundabouts … against the movement. He was right; I had to accept. The score was 2:3.

Before the cities are pointers, i.e. for them the speed of 60 km/h. Seeing that sign, I, however, speed is not reduced, the road was free. And where again, art. l-NT appeared? Without further ADO – fine. That’s human psychology: I’m wrong, what are we talking about? Nevertheless unpleasant, all being against it, although not right: Ah, and how I want to wriggle out! The only demanded a receipt for the fine. The score was 2:4.

Once in late autumn “popped” … no identity. Then I stopped by the sergeants. Attempts to return on her! – a motorcycle for the identity was not successful. Returning back, they took my identity; well, what can I say, they’re right. After a few days the traffic police told me that for such a violation, the Commission appointed me to retake. Alas, a forced landing. Prepared to answer the ticket, I sat and waited for the invitation. At this time the Committee members gathered around the stand with posters whose lighting was dim. They groaned and gasped, for posters on paper was not that difficult exam. Listened to their conversations, I offered them my help, I’m an electrician! They gladly agreed. Realizing what the reason, I disconnected the bench from the network and, after a few seconds, turned – stand back! I immediately read “retake”.

For identity told to come in a few days.

I repeat, it was late autumn, to ride a motorcycle as something not wanted. Anyway, for identity I went, then the trip and so Missed in the spring, to go over the document.

In the room the traffic police issuing of documents was art. l-NT and a woman. He began to look for my ID in the safe, but all to no avail. Finally he asked me, and when I took the exam? Suspecting nothing, answered: somewhere in the end of September. Oh my God, he fell into a rage, started to shout that after this period, my identity already, they say, are invalid, and so you go and give up again! Is called, came! What should I do? This is still not enough! Outside the room, reassured, I started to think: I don’t remember this limitation in the rules. Began to read all the posters in their dressing room – no hint of such a limitation: it is impossible to keep track of the drivers as they go and not go. Makes a fool of me this art. l-NT! Decided to look to the beginning-ku for clarification, I de nothing to lose! Tried the handle of his office, the door was closed. At this time, “my” art. l-NT periodically left the room and already noticed that this shtymp not going away, and something moving. And when I showed up at the door of the office of the Deputy nach. he came to me and asked what I wanted, why I’m not. Said that I don’t remember about this point of rules. He assured me that no such item is available, and I show it, what called to him. Well, I would like to see it! St. l-NT started going over the rules, saying that rules need to know in order not to waste time on explanations such klutz like me. To me remained nothing how to repeat: show! Viewing other documents, including with the involvement of the employee, remained without result. The exchange of views we had was that he told me that this is the norm, and I was saying the same thing: show! Apparently, he began to realize that something is wrong. Then gave me the ID and, citing a lack of time, promises to track down such a rule and to tell me. I agreed and promised that after this will return the ID and pass the exam again. The score became 3:4.

So here is my personal experience: often, after all, were they right!

At the same time, it is reasonable to note that the persistence and even impudence helps to defend their rights, although not always! One activist actually came to the conclusion that “to defeat” the bureaucracy can only be achieved using an AK-47.

I wish you all peace, friendship, health and love; of liberty, equality and fraternity; successful, dignified, meaningful, fulfilling, joyful and happy future life; all normal human wealth and success, and, most importantly, courage and faith in a better future.
