The bike looks like a TV – Fontanka

The police even in the winter continues to struggle with the theft of bicycles. See this could Vasilyevsky Island resident who suspiciously late and -20 returned to their two-wheeled vehicles home to children. I reached, but transit through the police station.

 Bike season in St. Petersburg due to the climate is not as long as in Europe, so returning in the evening on January 21 two wheels instead of Vasilyevsky Island resident to communicate with his family spent two hours in the police department.

 As told “Fontanka” his wife Alena, 21 hour her husband was returning home on the 15th line with the evening shift. In the area of ​​the 8th line down his outfit PPP and demanded to produce documents on a bicycle. “Since there is no law under which a cyclist is obliged to carry a document on your bike, no one does not carry with them, and her husband to them, of course, could not produce documents. After that he was taken to the 30th police department Vasileostrovsky district “- angry woman.

 Along the way, the man warned his wife that he was being taken to the police. “We have a tradition: the husband comes back around 21.40, said the children, and they are stacked. And then just started a madhouse. I called the police, but the attendant could not tell me on what basis the detained man, who detained him at all, and when to let go. And then even in the midst of a conversation he hung up, “- says Alain.

 Police Vasilyevsky Island “Fontanka” said that the detention of her husband Alina was conducted legitimately. Bicycling in this case, law enforcement officers are not evaluated as a vehicle, as well as property. Since the documents he was not a man, he was taken to the department to check on the basis of a number of frames for possible theft. The man, as they say in the police, seemed to them suspicious. Firstly, in the winter are not many cyclists, especially at about -20. Secondly, the time was later. Third – documents on a bicycle he was not. Fourth – to himself and did not have identity documents. “If he is looking for the night carrying the TV, it is also able to deliver to the department to check, not whether the stolen” – summed up in law enforcement.

 In June 2015 “Fontanka” wrote about a similar arrest of the girl with a bicycle in the Admiralty district.

 Then veloaktivisty noted that this case is a precedent, and referred to the rules of the road, saying that on non-motorized transport is not necessary to carry documents.

 After the police in the fight against mass velokrazhami time to worry is not the owner of a two-wheeled, the rhetoric of public figures has changed.

 “Cyclists are sometimes really delayed in order to check the number on the frame as well as bicycles, as well as any other things they steal. In addition, each bike has a unique number on the frame. So it’s normal activities, which sometimes help to find a bike, “- says the coordinator of the project” Velosipedizatsiya “, now an adviser to the vice-governor Igor Albin Daria Tabachnikova.

 At the same time, according to activists, according to the law “On Police” employees are required to provide individual access to documents and materials that directly affected his rights and freedoms, unless otherwise provided by federal law. “Therefore, if you are detained, you must present a request to ask for guidance and clarify what signs have wanted a bicycle – the color, model and so on. This will avoid confusion and save time “- gives advice to colleagues on hobby Tabachnikova.

 Chairman of the club “VeloPiter” Ilya Gurevich, in turn, believes that the detention of cyclists and forwarding them to the department – not necessarily the action: “Each bike to the frame has an identification number, and if it is not shot down or damaged, you can also just call up and ask colleagues to check on the basis for the theft ».

 Gurevich sure that the delivery of the police is either for the reason that people do not like the employee and he wants to bring “pleasure”, or because in the 21st century the police for some reason can not, as is the case with cars, check it out fate in place.

 To save time, experts advise to carry with them in the presence of a passport on a bike or a guarantee, in which the identification number.

 As for the husband of Alena, then he came home only at midnight. But his children waited.
