On the morning of December 23, 2010, a driver was moving down a street in Kiev. His car was stopped by a police officer who approached and requested to see his driver's license.
The driver believed that the stop was groundless and asked to see the officer's identification. The officer showed his identification.
In an instant, the other officer approached and attempted to unlock the door through the window shouting "Why the f*ck are you driving drunk?! Where.. hands f*ck" and started
dragging the driver out of the car.

Officer's plan is simple: terrorize the driver and extort a bribe.
This is a common situation to take the driver to a hospital without any required documents and records. In accordance with the Ukrainian law the driver can be sent to a hospital
for a blood test only after a breath test with breathalyzer or in case when he refuses to take a breath test, but only with report of such a refusal, made in presence of 2
witnesses.
In the hospital there is a corrupt doctor who issues a fake report. You cannot refuse to take a blood test because by law refusal makes you drunk anyway.
In case you make an application for a criminal offense, public procurator will deny the prosecution.
This is the road officers’ classical tactics – at first beat a driver, then make this driver drunk antedate and make it impossible to prove anything.
Interestingly, when officers got to know that the driver is calling for a flying squad, they immediately returned the documents to the driver and started denying that they had
dragged him out of the car.
Finally, the officer even refused to let the driver take a breath test.
Hence the inspectors simply wanted to swindle the sober driver.
And yes, it happened in the face of the day! You can only imagine what happens at night, when there are no witnesses.... and a driver has no camcorder.
