"Sorry, this is such a work!" Werewolves in uniform are still on duty

Can such a ubiquitous phenomenon as police venality exist in a healthy society? Could the police behave like this if the rest of the population did not accept it? - bloggers ask these purely rhetorical questions. And they answer as expected: all this is sanctioned by the tacit consent of the people, which means that we ourselves are to blame for this. Lawyer Alexey Avanesyan writes about the size of this wild phenomenon:

“Recently took under the protection of a man suspected of bribing police officers. Before the indictment, he told me that for many months he paid these employees for a "roof", and during the next meeting they (devils - quotation) "slammed" him right in their boomer. Most likely, they, for some reason suspecting that they were being "grazed", decided, as Comrade Putin taught, to strike first and, having written appropriate reports in hindsight, concocted an operational experiment with their colleagues. After the "clap" of the suspect, which is strange, they did not detain him. A couple of days later, the "bribe-giver", still in shock from what had happened, asked one of his former partners in uniform through mutual friends just one question:

- For what?!

He, in turn, also through deeply conspiratorial intermediaries replied:

Nothing personal, sorry. It's such a work.

And now an indignant investigator called me and said that my client did not come on the agenda and therefore will be put on the wanted list.

- Do you happen to know where your client is now?

- I know, but it's not certain.

- Tell me? It would be better for him if he stopped running.

- Of course not. And he definitely won't get better in custody.

Why don't you tell me where he is?

- That's the job, I'm sorry.

PS

On occasion, I recalled a story told to me by one FSB-shny opera. During a search in the office of a then police chief, he found several reports addressed to him signed by his subordinates, in which they reported that such and such a person allegedly offered them a bribe. Naturally, there were no dates on the reports. They were so afraid. How could.

Avanesyan's colleagues in the legal profession immediately shared similar stories, which testifies to the ubiquity of this form of racketeering:

Alexey Pisarevsky: “A similar story happened in the valiant city of Novocherkassk a couple of years ago. For more than six months, the investigator froze money from the suspect in the case of fraud, even ordered banquets in the sauna at the “state” expense, so to speak, and then took it and handed it over to the Uzbeks”.

Artur Putukyan: “The practice is established. I am defending a compatriot who, in his words, was bashing operas every month for "myopia" when selling counterfeit alcohol through his store. A year ago, at their request, he agreed to hang a criminal offence. They made a "stick", incorruptible. A small bribe. He got off with a fine of two hundred thousand wooden ones. When the production was confiscated, the opera said that enough was enough, they had not touched it for a year, they managed to return the “grandmothers” for a fine. It's time.

A 67-year-old man, by God, like a child, signed everything that was possible and impossible.

Arina Subbotina: “ A few years ago, a detainee called me from a Moscow police department, allegedly with drugs, and said that he had a huge amount of money sewn into his jacket on the way, moreover, strangers, which the employees will now find and seize forever.

The task was to take out this jacket until the employees appropriated the money.

Immediately, an operative called me back and insolently, without embarrassment, offered to come with 300,000 rubles, for which he would break the protocol.

And he pressed that the count goes on for minutes.

Immediately, I turned on the record, so to speak, in order to avoid it.

Many lawyers recounted similar calls.

Apparently, the next distribution order for "bribe-takers"-lawyers was carried out.

They also ask why lawyers are needed”.

Yes, at least so that such policemen themselves do not turn into criminals.
