Contact of a law-abiding citizen with the police is possible in different situations. Except for cases when a person becomes a victim of a crime or an administrative offense, a witness of such an act or is suspected of committing it, communication on neutral grounds is also possible: passport issues (the FMS, although it is considered a separate department, is part of the structure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), a weapon permit, etc. …
It is necessary
- - politeness;
- - knowledge of the basics of current legislation;
- - self-esteem.
Instructions
Step 1
Whatever the reason for coming into contact with this structure, it is important to understand that, on the one hand, you should not be afraid of a police officer, and on the other hand, you should unnecessarily provoke him to aggression and give you a reason to bring charges against you under fairly serious criminal articles, for example, resisting to a police officer in the performance of those official duties.
Step 2
From the first seconds of the conversation, let the policeman understand that you respect his work, but you also know your rights. So, if you are asked to show documents, the police officer has the right to do so. But you must also have reasons for this (for example, you look like a wanted criminal, have signs of intoxication, etc.).
If you demonstrate your readiness to show documents, but at the same time unobtrusively glance at the bib number of the guard, ask him to introduce himself (the name and rank are quite enough) and politely ask why this is necessary, the police officer will understand that in front of him is a citizen, with who are better off not getting involved (those who know their rights, they themselves are afraid), and he himself will try to fuse you.
Step 3
In no case should you be rude, threaten the policeman with various punishments, including those provided by law. You have the right to file a complaint about the illegal actions of a police officer at any time, and even if the check does not see anything reprehensible in his actions, the very fact of it will make him nervous.
If the policeman himself is rude, it is possible to politely point out to him the inadmissibility of such behavior, but in some cases it is better to remain silent.
Often, especially during detention, the police deliberately insult citizens (speak disrespectfully of his nationality, appearance, etc.) in order to provoke a response and "bring him under the article." Try to remember the offender and appeal against his rudeness when you leave the department.
Step 4
When communicating with the police, it is unacceptable to use specific words inherent in the criminal world and which have become public knowledge as a result of the abundant flow of literature and film production on criminal subjects. The words "cop" and "trash", in particular, from this series.
It is better to forget about the existence of profanity for the time of communication with a policeman, even if he himself actively reminds of it (abuse and the notorious criminal fenya for the average guardian of order is no less a native language than for those with whom he must by law fight). But in a subsequent complaint, you can write about this, and the shavings will be removed from him, and people who have the same lexical preferences as he do.
