What new powers will the military police receive? We will also briefly analyze judicial practice regarding the provision of alternative civilian service. Hello, dear friends. 00:20 Speaker A My name is Ilya Monarch, a lawyer specializing in military law and personal bankruptcy. Let's get started. 00:26 Speaker A My name is Ilya Monarch, a lawyer specializing in military law and personal bankruptcy. Let's get started. 00:45 Speaker A mobilization, a person could theoretically be sent not only to the armed forces, which we are used to, but also to the federal fire service system . The draft explicitly states: "If a citizen from the reserve is sent there 00:59 Speaker A A new bill concerning mobilization has appeared, and it affects it directly. The government proposes to establish the possibility of sending citizens in the reserve, when called up for mobilization, to serve in the federal fire service. That is, during 01:09 Speaker A " For now, this is just a draft law and not a current regulation, but I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the initiator is the government. 01:18 Speaker A mobilization, a person could theoretically be sent not only to the armed forces, which we are used to, but also to the federal fire service system. The draft explicitly states: "If a citizen from the reserve is sent there 01:35 Speaker A drafting. In simple terms, as of today, only the armed forces are mobilizing. Everyone knows this. Basically, those mobilized are sent to the special military operation zone. So, with this bill, the government wants to redistribute mobilized military personnel slightly. Someone might be 01:55 Speaker A upon mobilization, the completion of such service becomes a duty, and the procedure for entry into such service, its completion, and discharge will be determined separately by the president." 02:08 Speaker A unit without permission, the Ministry of Defense proposes to define in detail ambushes, roadblocks, observation posts , and pursuits in the regulations. 02:17 Speaker A For now, this is just a draft law and not a current regulation, but I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the initiator is the government. 02:32 Speaker A significantly strengthens the powers of the military police. That is, for searching for those evading service, they propose creating special detention groups, maintaining separate lists of suspected locations, and also using so-called rapid response groups. If such a soldier is found, for example, 02:52 Speaker A This means the chances of this bill being approved are, well, almost 100%. Does this mean that mobilization may resume soon? Yes, of course it does, because the government is directly introducing a bill that specifically describes variations of mobilization 03:07 Speaker A headlines saying that the military police will be able to detain citizens and the like. In reality, as of today, if someone is detaining a soldier, they can simultaneously question, for example, their relative. Well, simply come to the home where the soldier 03:22 Speaker A drafting. In simple terms, as of today, only the armed forces are mobilizing. Everyone knows this. Basically, those mobilized are sent to the special military operation zone. So, with this bill, the government wants to redistribute mobilized military personnel slightly. Someone might be 03:39 Speaker A some kind of indirect connection. That is, if you happen to be nearby while military police are searching for a service member, they might just ask you in passing if you've seen such a person or what you're doing there. They might 03:53 Speaker A drafted into the army, while others into the fire service to put out fires after drone attacks. That is the kind of bill it is. You can write your opinion in the comments. To search for military personnel who have left their 03:59 Speaker A And most importantly, it is worth reminding that the military police only deal with searching for active-duty service members. This means the military police cannot have any dealings with civilians. The military police cannot detain civilians, so they will not be conducting raids if 04:17 Speaker A unit without permission, the Ministry of Defense proposes to define in detail ambushes, roadblocks, observation posts, and pursuits in the regulations. 04:30 Speaker A has gone AWOL. That is who really should be worried. My friends, before we continue, I want to remind you that my company, Armi.net, is a team of military lawyers and doctors. If you need any help related to military law, 04:43 Speaker A Military police will be able to question citizens, collect information, and, if necessary, block the area where the wanted person is presumably located. You can see the corresponding decree on your screens, but this is still just a draft. Indeed, the new draft 04:58 Speaker A discharge debts or optimize them, we have a second service for that: financial protection. Please reach out via the links in the description. We also work throughout the Russian Federation. Even if you live abroad, you can still contact us. All 05:11 Speaker A significantly strengthens the powers of the military police. That is, for searching for those evading service, they propose creating special detention groups, maintaining separate lists of suspected locations, and also using so-called rapid response groups. If such a soldier is found, for example, 05:22 Speaker A for free. Now let's continue. I will now show you how judicial practice is being formed regarding the granting of alternative civilian service. We will analyze mistakes that I recommend you avoid. We will also indirectly touch upon OBZhZR here. That is the former 05:40 Speaker A in another garrison, they can be seconded to a local unit for investigative actions. So, the search system is indeed expanding slightly with this project. However, the media is presenting this news not quite correctly. In the media, I have seen 05:50 Speaker A service was submitted. Next, there was a refusal, and a lawsuit was filed in court to appeal this refusal by the draft board. Why did the court support the military enlistment office here? 06:00 Speaker A headlines saying that the military police will be able to detain citizens and the like. In reality, as of today, if someone is detaining a soldier, they can simultaneously question, for example, their relative. Well, simply come to the home where the soldier 06:17 Speaker A fundamentals of military service at school. And here is the most important part: he got an A in life safety and, in a psychological test regarding his orientation toward military service, he scored a very high seven points, meaning he got seven out of ten. This 06:32 Speaker A might live, for instance, and question a relative there regarding the soldier's whereabouts. I also saw headlines in the media saying this project somehow concerns conscripts. It doesn't concern conscripts at all, and by and large, it doesn't concern civilians either. Perhaps there's just 06:54 Speaker A pursue alternative service, or if you doubt you have medical conditions that would exempt you from the draft, and therefore alternative service is your only remaining legal option, then it is very important how you do in school subjects. that are related to the 07:09 Speaker A some kind of indirect connection. That is, if you happen to be nearby while military police are searching for a service member, they might just ask you in passing if you've seen such a person or what you're doing there. They might 07:26 Speaker A have an A. Unfortunately, the current judicial practice is such that you might even have to downplay your grades in some school subjects, even if you don't want to, because courts are increasingly citing the fact that a student had a good grade in life safety 07:43 Speaker A cordon off the area. But in reality, that is exactly how the search for service members is conducted even now. 07:49 Speaker A Thank you very much for watching until the end. I hope it was useful and informative.
