A Chelyabinsk driver who humiliated the local traffic police by filming them violating traffic rules was busted for driving without a license, a regional police spokesman said Tuesday.
Chelyabinsk officers stopped the car driven by Vitaly Loboda on May 4 because their database indicated that it belonged to a driver with a revoked license, police spokesman Viktor Khairullin said by phone.
Loboda, who lost his license for drunk driving, tried to flee, but the officers caught and detained him after a half-hour foot chase.
A Chelyabinsk district court sentenced Loboda to a day in jail.
Video of his arrest appeared on YouTube on May 12.
A video of Loboda ordering a traffic police officer to show his documents and remove his police car from a pedestrian crossing appeared on YouTube in April. That video had more than 472,400 views as of Tuesday.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
