I read here for days the story of the grubas about how the man of the haishnik tried to shake up, and I thought that most probably were on the side of that man. In fact, his haishnik acted nobly, but against the law. Who knows who he will release next time? History is not about that. It was told by a veteran of GAI, who has not worked in the police (or now the police) for 25 years.

He served in those times when the State Auto Inspection was not as mobile as it is today, there was very little technology, but like people were better. There were almost no thicknesses and turns in the pursuit. And here he, then even the senior sergeant, had a fairy tale. He was put to work on a speed meter. And we have to say that in those years even a motorcycle was placed far from every inspector, and the service cars for the whole city were from the force of dozens. In winter and summer, in any weather, the haishniki carried the service "on their two", and to the place of the accident were often reached by sidewalks. So the service, which today is generally not sugar (unless the pants are wiped out in the office), then was extremely difficult.

Here is such a farth. The speed meter of that time is not your current radar, it is a device that looks like a projector and weighed about 10-12 kilograms. Therefore, the meter was attached to the car - the ordinary 412 "Moskvich" of orange colour without identification marks and "blinkers". The task is to stand near the stationary station of GAI on the track and measure the speed at the encounter. Anyone who violates the report will be stopped there. There was no fixation of the indications of the device, but it was not accepted to argue with the inspector. The work on the meter is not that dustless - a paradise compared to the work of a regular postman.

And here once he stands on the side, the device set on the seat, waiting.
On Sunday evening, holidaymakers go to the city, but there are few cars. And here he sees: from the side of the garden cooperative flies the "Jigul" - "Troika" (the most luxurious car at the time). The device shows... no matter what it shows, it is important that the speed is exceeded, you have to report to the post. But here the driver of the "troika", seeing that behind the wheel of the "Moskovich" sits a man in shape, apparently understands that "fall". He stops at the opposite side and swarms toward him with a grim sight.

What did the commander exceed?
There is a little.
So... I’m in a hurry.
Where are you in a hurry, chauffeur?
“You know, comrade inspector, ‘right’ I forgot at home! Here is honest
For the first time with me! Going on a trip and at the table.
has left. Please let me go, my trip is breaking down.
You don’t have any documents, right?
Well... well what to do...

What to do, just knew the young senior sergeant - to go to the post and there to find out from the city phone the identity of the "bad" driver. But it deceived kindness. And the man was somewhat simple. It was like yesterday from the village. The villagers were respected by the inspector. In general, it ended with the fact that he rushed into confusion and let go with peace. To say goodbye, he tried to give the inspector a mint cherry (which was quite a heavy amount then), but he pushed the driver's hand away.

The next day, barely entering the GAI building, the “good” inspector encountered the assistant of the guard.
“Well, Petya, about... you’re your happiness...” he thoughtfully said to him. go go
The commander is waiting for you.

The "simple" man turned out to be the new deputy chief of the UVD, harmful and intrusive. When he arrived at the post, he immediately presented himself and demanded a phone. In the morning, Petino’s happiness ended. Instead of a speed meter, he entered a pedestrian post, and another one - under the windows of the city's UVD. And as you know, you have to stay away from the bosses to avoid... But this is not what the inspector remembered most. Not an excuse for a personal matter. For his whole life he remembered the last words of the insidious deputy after the chief "working":
It’s a pity that you didn’t take that trunk, I would have put you in.

Since then, according to Peti, who has long been Petro Mikhailovich, he has always been in service first of all as appropriate, and then humanly. Because it is not known yet whether they will thank you for your kindness, but the bosses will not let you go.
