We analyze the complaint of the reader “Behind the wheel” with the head of the State traffic inspectorate of the Russian Federation.
Stopped for not allowing a pedestrian to pass. To draw up a protocol, they demanded to get into the traffic police car. When I began to refuse, they threatened that I would be arrested for disobeying the inspector’s command. I had to sit down. Was the employee doing the right thing?
