False call of the police: the size of the penalty, the consequences and feedback

Many people have known the phone call from the earlychildhood. Employees of this service are able to assist any citizen who has applied for a report on an incident, a crime or illegal actions. In all these cases, the police officer must respond. And if this is a challenge, then go to the place where the violation is fixed.

Depending on the size of the settlement,the number of calls to the service 102 can reach several thousand per day. All of them are taken equally responsibly. Many of them require the departure of a dress or the use of other emergency services. But do all of them really require attention?

What is a false call to the police?

From the timeliness of the call to organs and services,like the police, can often depend on a person's life. We always hear about vigilance and the need to inform the authorities about certain cases. But cases of false calls of the police are not uncommon.

In this case, you need to know that such incidents can be classified as follows:

• a deliberately false call to the police;
• unintentional call.

And if the first is really a violation, then the second is not so simple.

Fake call: reinsurance

There are situations when a person believes that heor nearby are really in danger. Reporting this to the police, in fact, he does not commit a violation. It is these challenges that are most often observed. They are reinsurance and are often not attracted to them.

These calls include allterrorist acts, which subsequently did not find confirmation. People report on bags, suspicious persons or circumstances abandoned in transport and public places. It is clear that punishing people in such circumstances, you can achieve the opposite reaction. Such reports will completely disappear, and then, perhaps, the police will find out about the actual terrorist act late.

How is the culprit revealed?

Do not think that the culprit of a false call inthe police are difficult to establish. Even if the call restriction function is set on the cellular, the call forwarding or call is made through an independent contact - the call center (these are the same services through which many citizens receive promotional offers for cell phones.) To use their services and get anonymous number can both the physical person and organizations).

All police units whose workis tied to receiving calls, is equipped with both numbers and recording equipment. If it is impossible to determine, the request can be sent to the telephone company, which has all the information on calls in full.

False challenge to the police: what threatens the offender

The call of the police is often committed because of the desirejoke over a friend, play a relative, annoy neighbors. After the first September day, the number of reports of terrorist attacks in schools, arson of student hostels and institute audiences sharply increases.

All such actions are intentional, and areadministrative offense, according to the article on the false call of the police and other emergency services No. 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. After learning the amount of punishment, some can laugh. To date, this is not more than the amount that is given to a school child in some cities of Russia for a couple of weeks. After all, the penalty for a false police call is from 1 to 1,5 thousand rubles.

However, such a violation can be considered and at a slightly different angle, with the application of articles of the criminal direction. What will be the punishment for a false call to the police in this case?

On what grounds can punishment be toughened?

An additional factor affecting the increaseThe severity of the violation is the very cause of the challenge. So, for example, a neighbor who stated that an apartment was burning in a neighboring apartment will receive a fine for a false police call already in the amount of the salary for 18 months and up to 200 thousand rubles. Alternative punishment, too, it will not please - this is correctional work or restriction of freedom.

If the student decides to joke, stating thatmined Institute, and in case of emergency evacuation, people will suffer, the fine is even greater. It already pulls on the salary for the period from 18 months to three years or the sum up to 1 million. The term of restriction of freedom also grows, corrective works in this case are not provided. All this is regulated by Article 207 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

What is the punishment for the perpetrator being a minor?

In order to be able to apply articlesCriminal Code, the offender must be over 14 years of age. This is established by Article 87 of the Criminal Code. Administrative involvement is possible from the age of 16. Prior to these age brackets of citizens, his parents are responsible for a false call to the police of their child-joker.

Adolescents are registered in specializeddepartments, educational work is conducted with them. But the parents will have to fulfill the administrative punishment, which they will write out on the basis of Article 5.35 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the fine will be formed not only from fixed fixed amounts. This can include all the costs of travel services.

In addition, private claims are possible. For example, someone from the visitors of a mined child was sick, so much so that it was required hospitalization, and someone could not get to work. In this case, the parents will have to compensate the expenses and moral damage to the victims.

How is the evidence base on the false call case drawn up?

The first proof is the recording of the conversationcaller and police officer. All calls are not only determined, but also recorded. Thus, not only the information presented to the callers is fixed, but also the correctness of the reaction of the police officer, his competence and correctness in relation to citizens.

After revealing the falsity of the call, the joker will have tohimself in writing to explain the reasons for his call. If he himself says that he committed this action as a joke or to annoy someone, the evidence is obvious. In addition, the testimony is collected. If the call was about neighbors, then the district police officer should also apply to them for data collection.

In the case of reports of terrorist attacks and arsonswill be collected even more testimony, will be carried out the survey of the joker himself for sanity. And in this case, the jokes already stop.

What to do if an unintentional false call is still punished?

There are cases when an unintentional callcan threaten with serious consequences. In this case, if there is indeed evidence of the absence of the caller's guilt, it is possible to challenge the charges brought against the judiciary.

For example, calling policemen to the scene of a fight,the caller can not be sure that at the time of the arrival of the order the fighters will still remain in place. Even hearing the sounds of a clearly-killed woman from a neighboring apartment, it is impossible to say with certainty whether or not there is something like this happening.

Therefore, before you dial the cherished number, it is worthreally assess the perceived or audible danger. On a calm head and a sober mind to decide whether or not there is a threat to life. And it is then to make a challenge.

Application of sanctions in case of unintentionalitya false call is extremely rare. This is one of the most unpopular measures. Since in this way citizens can "discourage the desire" to signal violations that do not directly concern them.

After all, then people will definitely pass by anyfights, parents, beating their children, robbers who take everything they have acquired from a neighboring apartment. Most will close their eyes to the pedophile who looks at the children in the park, or the guys pulling the abutting girl into the gateway.

Judging by the responses, almost always such calls are not registered even as an administrative offense.

The price of a false call

The cost of a false call is not just a pricefuel for cars, payment of police for the time they were on the road for such a call, the costs of the arrival of operatives, search dogs and other components. First of all, this is the time that bodies could spend for help where it really is needed. Quickly go to the place of the fight, to have time to save the woman from a drunken husband with a knife, to find a runaway child.

Measuring the price of a false call is not in money,but in saved lives. The police, no matter how negatively the ordinary citizens splashed out on it, is doing a very important thing. From the timely and correct actions of employees can depend on life, the inviolability of the rights of these same citizens and the safety of their property.
