PARKING DOESN'T COUNT. THE SUPREME COURT FORBADE FINING A DRUNK MOTORIST

A traffic police officer drew up a protocol on an administrative offense due to the fact that a citizen was driving a vehicle while intoxicated.

The courts of two instances recognized the legality of bringing a person to administrative responsibility.

However, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation canceled judicial acts and terminated proceedings in the case of an administrative offense due to the lack of evidence of the circumstances on the basis of which the court decisions that took place in the case were issued.

As indicated by the supreme court, it follows from the case materials that the traffic police inspector did not stop the car and was parked, and the driver himself was on the street at the time of drawing up the protocol, and therefore, in relation to the norms of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, the indication that he was driving the vehicle is incorrect.
