What to Do If Police Ask You to Show Yandex or Google Maps on Your Phone...
What should you do if police ask you to show Yandex or Google Maps on your phone? We explain with an example
Imagine this: you are walking down the street, police approach you and ask you to show the maps on your phone. What is the best way to behave?
By law, police cannot demand your phone for no reason. You are not required to unlock it or tell them your password, even if they suspect you of something. But in practice, of course, not everything is so simple: if you insist on following the law, they may leave you alone, or they may take you to the station.
All the nuances are covered in our new video.

The Law Fits, The Station Waits
By law, you can refuse the phone, but the station stays on the table.
Rights hold until the first patrol.
