REASONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH
POLICE REQUESTS: WHY DRIVERS ARE
RELUCTANT TO STOP THEIR VEHICLES?
Nasilloev Abdullaman
Senior lecturer of the department of the Academy of the Ministry of Internal
Affairs, Uzbekistan
INTRODUCTION
In the current complex and volatile global situation,
we are all aware of the vital importance of ensuring
national security and territorial integrity, as well as
strengthening peace and solidarity in our society.
In this regard, the systematic reforms implemented
in recent years within the activities of the internal
affairs bodies have led to effective results in
creating a safe environment in all regions of the
republic, preventing threats to peace and stability,
and combating them. "For example, based on the
decree (PF-6196) of the President of the Republic
of Uzbekistan, Sh.M. Mirziyoyev, adopted on March
26, 2021, aimed at raising the activities of internal
affairs bodies in the field of ensuring public safety
and combating crime to a qualitatively new level,
an additional 2,800 staff positions have been
established to ensure at least one preventive
inspector operates in each existing neighborhood.
The purpose of these reforms, as stated by our
President Sh.M. Mirziyoyev, is to 'satisfy our people
by ensuring justice and the rule of law. Ensuring the
rule of law in society is considered one of the
essential duties of the state. When laws are created
in any state, these laws guarantee certain rights for
its citizens, as well as impose duties and obligations
on them and others present there. The
simultaneous application of such rights and
obligations is also reflected in the newly revised
Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan. For
example, Articles 25 to 53 cover personal, political,
economic, social, cultural, and environmental
rights, while Articles 59 to 64 outline the duties of
citizens. As noted by legal scholar M. Hakimjonov,
adherence by citizens to the rules and regulations
established in society, respect for the officials of
state bodies and other organizations that

implement these norms, and the conscious
understanding and execution of legal instructions
and directives they provide are also manifestations
of legal culture. The internal affairs bodies play a
crucial role in ensuring state and societal security,
maintaining public order, and strengthening the
rule of law. It is mandatory for all citizens and
officials to comply with the lawful demands of
internal affairs personnel.
Failure of citizens to fulfill their obligations before
state bodies, especially the internal affairs
agencies, or resistance to their lawful activities may
lead to administrative or criminal liability. As noted
by M. Veselov and D. Volkov, the legal protection of
internal affairs personnel in the performance of
their duties is ensured through a series of
organizational, material-technical, and legal
measures enshrined in administrative and criminal
law norms. In recent years, despite the efforts of
the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Uzbekistan to
prevent violations of the lawful demands of
internal affairs personnel through public
awareness campaigns in collaboration with the
media, the number of such violations has been
increasing. According to statistics, there were
29,881 cases of non-compliance with lawful
demands in 2020, 43,357 in 2021, 76,493 in 2022,
and 89,420 in 2023. Furthermore, despite the
penalties imposed, citizens committed 26,280
administrative violations repeatedly in 2023. The
increase in such violations necessitates the
strengthening of measures established by
legislation and the application of more serious
sanctions. The rise in instances of citizens failing to
comply with the lawful demands of internal affairs
personnel, particularly traffic patrol service
inspectors, was notably highlighted by the
President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Sh.M.
Mirziyoyev, during a video conference on road
safety issues held on February 11, 2022.
Analysis of violations of the lawful demands of
internal affairs personnel indicates that such
violations are primarily manifested in the failure to
stop vehicles. Typically, a violator continues to
operate their vehicle without complying with the
internal affairs officer's demand to stop due to the
following reasons.
Firstly, there may be issues with the documents
granting the driver the right to operate the vehicle.
In such cases, the driver does not comply with the
demand to stop the vehicle in order to conceal their
shortcomings and avoid penalties;
Secondly, the driver is driving the vehicle while
intoxicated. When a drunk driver sees an internal
affairs officer, they attempt to hide their
intoxication. Additionally, fearing that their driving
rights will be revoked for a long period if their
intoxication is discovered, they do not comply with
the demand to stop the vehicle;
Thirdly, the presence of prohibited items in the
driver's vehicle. In such cases, drivers do not
comply with the demand to stop for fear of having
prohibited items confiscated;
Fourthly, drivers may be on their way to work,
school, or other urgent matters and, assuming that
an interaction with a law enforcement officer will
take up their time, may hesitate to stop their
vehicle.
Based on the discussions, it’s essential to
implement a combination of educational and
enforcement
strategies.
Here
are
some
recommendations:
1. Public Awareness Campaigns: Educate drivers
about the legal consequences of failing to comply
with police requests and the dangers of driving
under the influence. Employ various media
platforms, social networks, and community
initiatives to educate drivers on the importance of
not driving under the influence and complying with
police instructions. It is crucial to raise awareness
about the consequences of violations and the
penalties that follow.
2. Enhanced Training for Officers: Equip internal
affairs personnel with the skills to handle
encounters with intoxicated drivers effectively.
Provide training sessions for police officers on how
to effectively communicate with intoxicated
drivers, explain legal requirements, and handle
difficult
situations.
This
enhances
their
professionalism and ability to manage challenging
encounters.
3. Stricter Penalties: Consider revising laws to

impose harsher penalties for repeated violations of
compliance with police demands. Review and
strengthen laws by increasing fines, extending the
duration of license suspensions for repeat
offenders, and implementing additional penalties.
This aims to hold drivers accountable more
effectively.
These measures are aimed at enhancing road
safety and reinforcing the rule of law within the
community.
