POLICEMEN DEFEND, SMI INSPECTORS DEFY
Do the policemen defend or defy the rights of the citizens? It turned
out that they defend, but how much? `So much as you see. I associate
with the representatives of state bodies and citizens more often and
their main complaints refer to the work of state motor vehicle
inspectorate,’ said first deputy of the head of the Police Ararat
Mahtesyan in reply to Panorama.am question.
But the latter hopes that soon the reins of the inspectors will be
restrained as the President has signed a decree according to which a
working group has been founded. `The working group has prepared a long
document according to which great work has to be carried out in the
legislative, financial and many other fields. After these works we
shall have a State Motor-vehicle Inspectorate of new, higher quality
and the contacts between an inspector and a citizen will be rather
rare as a result of which they will be more objective,’ A. Mahtesyan
said.
And it is hard to say when the expectations of the deputy of the head
of the Police will come true. And before that drivers who have done no
violations will be stopped by Motor vehicle inspectors and the former
will have to pay 500 drams for the Inspector to let them drive
on./Panorama.am/
