Stopped for not letting a pedestrian pass. To establish a protocol, they demanded to get into the traffic police car. When I started to refuse, they threatened that I would be arrested for disobeying the inspector’s order. I had to sit down. Did the employee act properly?

The administrative regulation, approved by Decree of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia dated August 23, 2017 No. 664, entitles a traffic police officer to offer the driver to sit in a patrol car only when his participation is necessary for processing of procedural documents.
Any responsibility for the fact that the driver refused to get into the patrol car is not established by law.
You can send a complaint about the actions of the traffic police inspector to the competent territorial body of the State Traffic Inspectorate or to the Main Directorate for Ensuring Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, also in electronic form on the official website of the National Traffic Inspectorate (gibdd.rf).
The inspector’s actions are assessed and the necessary measures are taken.
