Ok a couple of local humorous stories told around the campfire. So they are camp fire certified to be total BS but...First I don't know if the humor will translate but think Russian Stereotypes. Second when pulled over it is more common to get out of your vehicle, except in Moscow (but remember Moscow is not Russia lol!)
Guy is flying down the highway in his new imported Challenger. Doing twice the posted speed limit at night under a gorgeous full moon. Local traffic police see him, makes chase, and pulls him over. It is a cold night and Dimitri stays in the car. Pushing the button to roll the electric windows down watching the huge traffic cop struggle to slam the aging Lada's door. The cop arrives and without hesitation, or a word, reaches in the window and pulls Dimitri from his seat. He then berates him about not getting out of his car, while he writes up the traffic fine. He hands Dimitri the ticket and tells him to get back in his car and wait.
He walks over to the passenger window and signals for the passenger to roll his window down. He slaps him with the ticket book.
"What the F$%* was that for?" The passenger asks.
"I am granting your wish." Replies the cop, before continuing. "Two minutes from now you were going to turn to your friend and say I wished that fat cop would have'd tried that s$!% with me."
President Putin comes back from the European Summit and is pissed off. The media keep reporting traffic stops are leading to no tickets, Because of bribes, and influence peddling. He pens a memo to all the police agencies that if a car is pulled over for an infraction it gets a ticket. Period no exceptions are to be made.
The Next morning President Putin is late and doesn't call his security team and just jumps in his AMG and heads to the Kremlin.
Two motorcycle cops see a big black Mercedes fly by them on the inner ring of Moscow's city center. One of the cops takes off after him and then returns five minutes later. The first cop ask; "What? You gave them a ticket right?
"Nope. He was far too important."
"But the President said everyone gets a ticket!"
"I know but whoever it was Putin was HIS driver, and I didn't want to embarrass the President."
