Russian Interior Ministry proposes to change the procedure for detaining drunk drivers

The Russian Interior Ministry has proposed to change the procedure for drawing up protocols when traffic inspectors detect drunk drivers. The draft federal law is undergoing a procedure of public discussion, as reported on the website of the State Automobile Inspectorate on January 23.

Now when detecting a driver with signs of intoxication it is necessary to draw up from three to five procedural documents. At the same time, drawing up a protocol on suspension from driving and a protocol on the detention of the vehicle in each case is mandatory.

However, according to the results of the analysis of law enforcement, drawing up these protocols in some cases seems redundant, said the Interior Ministry. Amendments to the CAO provide for both the drawing up of a separate protocol on suspension from driving and a protocol on the detention of the vehicle, and the possibility of marking the application of appropriate measures in other procedural documents.

"The development of the bill is due to the need to optimize the activities of authorized officials in terms of reducing the number of procedural documents," - said in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
