The government has prepared a bill according to which police officers will have the right to open cars, cordon off residential buildings and protect venues for public events. This was reported by Interfax with reference to a source in the State Duma apparatus and the text of the document.
Corresponding amendments approved by the Cabinet this week. They have yet to submit to the State Duma.
The law “On Police” will contain an article on the opening of a vehicle. Police will be allowed to open cars in order to save the lives of citizens, prevent crime, and also “to ensure the safety of citizens or public safety during mass riots and emergencies”.
