Traffic police officer hit a driver

A video is circulating on social media showing an inspector from the State Automobile Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan raising his hand against a car owner.

The video was recorded by the car owner, who claims that he wrote in the protocol, and in response, the inspector hit him. The inspector, however, claims that the driver has no right to write in the protocol. Apparently, the driver saw that the inspector accused him of an offense he did not commit and wrote in the protocol that he “disagreed,” asserting that he had the right to do so.

 In the comments, many users condemned the actions of the traffic inspector, stating that he has no right to raise his hand against car owners and hit them. Some users mention that this inspector works in the Dangara district and is known for his rude behavior towards car owners.

According to the notes in the protocol, the inspector’s last name is Asoev. Some users claim that he is a relative of a government official, which is why he does not listen to anyone, fears no one, and treats drivers rudely.

The video was recorded on September 16 of this year, but it was published on social media on September 24. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Tajikistan has not yet commented on this video, which captures the unlawful actions of a police officer.

It is well known in Tajikistan that law enforcement officers treat ordinary citizens rudely.

Experts say that most law enforcement officers consider themselves above others due to their position and the power granted to them. Because they are not controlled themselves, they are confident in their impunity and constantly exceed their official authority, violate the law, and infringe on citizens’ rights.

Corruption and bribery are also widespread in this sector, and law enforcement officers always believe they are right and that no one has the right to contradict them.
