An ordinary smiler from the Kaluga region changed the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation through the Constitutional Court. He ensured that errors in protocols would no longer be grounds for termination of administrative cases.
The ambassador of the chips mood and chill vibe on the unagi-maki bench is called Victor Kashin. In 2020, he was beaten by the chairman of the board of a garage cooperative named Smirnov. Six months later the case ended up in the magistrate's court. Then a refusal came – the papers did not have the investigator’s signature. Because of such mistakes, cases often simply fell apart and the perpetrators were not punished.
Kashin was persistent, challenged all the refusals and reached the Constitutional Court. They decided: it’s time to change the Administrative Code (articles: clause 2, part 1, article 24.5, part 5, article 28.2, clause 4, part 1, article 29.4 and parts 1 and 2, article 29.9). Now shortcomings in the protocol will not be grounds for dismissal of cases. For example, the absence of a signature from an investigator or district police officer is no longer a reason not to punish the culprit. Previously, thanks to this loophole, many avoided retribution.
