Putin signed law expanding police powers

The law, in & nbsp; in particular, gives police officers the right to enter & nbsp; residential and & nbsp; other premises, & nbsp; land and for & nbsp; detention, and & nbsp; also cordon off buildings and & nbsp; territories. The police are allowed to introduce themselves to the detainee & nbsp; after he stops & nbsp; illegal actions.

In addition, the police get the right to open cars to & nbsp; save lives and & nbsp; ensure the safety of citizens or public safety in & nbsp; riots and & nbsp; emergencies, for & nbsp ; detention of suspects or accused, and & nbsp; also in case of & nbsp; threat of a terrorist attack.

In addition, the police can conduct a personal search of citizens who are with them things and & nbsp; their & nbsp; vehicles, if there is reason to believe that & nbsp; they have weapons, ammunition, cartridges for & nbsp; weapons, explosives, explosive devices, drugs or their & nbsp; precursors, poisonous or radioactive substances. Also, police officers were allowed to conduct a body search of citizens if there is reason to believe that & nbsp; they are hiding items of theft.
