IF YOU HAVE THROUGH DRUGS OR PROHIBITED SUBJECTS:
10/29/2017

1. Attract witnesses

Before and during the search, do not be left alone with law enforcement officials. Do not conduct conversations with them in a closed office. You must have a witness with you who can notice and confirm the illegality of the actions of police officers. Do not settle for the requirement to move away to talk "around the corner." If you understand that authorized persons will conduct a personal search, call for the help of everyone you see. Active protection negates the likelihood that a "forbidden powder" will be taken out of your pocket.

2. Never touch anything.
During detention, you can throw prohibited items or other things in your pocket. If the authorized person after the arrest offers to get everything out of his pockets - do not do it yourself, ask the law enforcement officer to do it himself. The presence of your fingerprints on the "criminal" contents of your pockets is one of the proofs.

3. Keep track of the participants in the search
During the search of the premises, require that all participants in the investigative action be in the exact room where the search is being conducted. If your requirement is not fulfilled, pay attention to the witnesses and make an appropriate entry in the protocol. Request that all persons present during the search be recorded in the minutes. Try to remember the appearance, special signs of officials. Rewrite the details of official certificates: if you were planted with drugs, you can later identify the person who did it. At the beginning of the inspection, notify authorized persons that you have covert video surveillance in your office. If the investigative action is carried out within the framework of the law, this will not confuse anyone, and the malevolent employee will lose the desire to “throw something up”.

4. Interrogation and search are not the same thing.
After the search, interrogation can be carried out on the spot only with your consent, otherwise you should be called to the investigator by proper notice three days before the interrogation begins. Remember: you can exercise your right to refuse to testify before your lawyer arrives and your line of defense is agreed with him.

5. Write comments on the protocol always
An authorized person is obliged to fix everything in detail at the time of seizure: your appearance, your clothes, the appearance of the seized substances, their smell, color, where they were located, by whom and how they were seized, how they were packed. The process of withdrawal from beginning to end should take place in the presence of two witnesses. There are times when witnesses are “their own”, and not conscientious passers-by from the street who want to help the executive branch. Basically, it is precisely the content of the protocol and the testimony of witnesses in the event of a drug discovery that will subsequently conclude that you are guilty or not guilty of its possession. The testimony of witnesses is of great importance, if you have doubts about them, ask them to replace.

6. Watch your hands
Carefully follow the process of seizing the “found” prohibited item or substance - witnesses, and even more so authorized officials from law enforcement agencies will not do this. Seized substances must be carefully packed in special bags. The throat of the bag should be tightly tied with a strong thread on several knots, which should be sealed and fastened with tags with signatures. Outside the package must be sealed and sealed with signatures in such a way as to exclude unauthorized access to the packaged substance and make it impossible to replace it or change the weight and composition.

7. Fix your disagreement

For example, if drugs were planted during the search, do not sign the search protocol in any case. The protocol should write with his own hand: "A package (parcel) with an unknown substance that I found in the pocket of my jacket (in my house, my apartment) was planted by police officers. I will give evidence only in the presence of a lawyer." If witnesses were invited after they planted drugs on you, also report this fact in a statement. A similar entry should be made on the tag of the package in which the substance you seized was packed.

8. Demand expertise
One of the indirect evidence of your innocence will be the absence of traces of prohibited items or substances on your body and body. Rinses from your palms and fingers, cuts of nails for examination are best done in the presence of a lawyer, using cotton wool and a bandage from sealed containers. Ask for a medical examination - whether there are signs of injections or other signs of drug use on your body.

9. Remember the characteristic
One of the indirect evidence of your compliance with the criminal law will be information that characterizes you from relatives, neighbors, work colleagues. Make a list of people who will prove your compliance.

10. Don't be afraid to complain
You should immediately inform the local security department of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs, the prosecutor's office about illegal actions by law enforcement officials. Use media effectively to draw public attention to a violation of your rights.
