The Federation Council will support a bill expanding the powers of the police. This was stated on Wednesday, December 8, by the head of the relevant committee on constitutional legislation, Andrei Klishas.
“Our committee will support this law,” Klishas is quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to the senator, the bill will be submitted for consideration in the upper house of parliament on December 15.
Earlier on Wednesday, the State Duma passed a law expanding the powers of the police in the third reading and submitted it to the upper house for consideration. If the senators also approve it in three readings, the law will be sent for signature to the president and then will come into force.
If these conditions are met, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be able to enter residential and other premises to detain suspects in an offense, which were indicated by eyewitnesses. The police will have the right to open the car and enter it to save lives and ensure the safety of citizens. They will also be able to inspect cars to check for incident reports.
In addition, the law enforcement officers will be allowed to present themselves after the cessation of illegal actions. It will be possible not to show the certificate in the event of a threat to the life and health of the policeman.
