Detention by phone

OVD-Info publishes the story of one of the participants in the campaign of Alexei Navalny, detained in Moscow on July 8. The author of the story asked to maintain anonymity. In his case, both during the detention and during the release, the smartphone played a key role.

Briefly about my agitation on (metro stations- OTD-info ) Kantemirovskaya. I began to campaign from twelve, until thirteen o’clock everything was fine, not counting the weather. Somewhere at this time a policeman-form came up to me and asks what I am doing here.

I ask him: "Who are you?" He says: "What, is it not visible?" I say not, and I ask you to present the documents. He says: "Let's go to clarify your personality." I say: "Let's clarify here, I have a passport with me." He says not, and you need to go to the department. I say: “Well, ok, now,” and I begin to write in a chat about the detention.

I did not have time to finish how this person pulls out my phone and says: "Come with me." I'm a little shocked by what happened, I ask "What are you doing?" He is silent. He only says: "Let's go." There is nothing to do, for it is a pity to the phone, we went with him to the department. I put me in the office, where I was one sitting for about an hour and a half. Then another person comes and begins his song about the Confederations Cup, about the decree ( limiting the holding of mass events during the Confederations of the Football Cup- OTD-Info ) ...

I tell him: “You read the law” ... He says to me: “What did you come against?” I told him: "Against the fact that the police at least not take the phone on the street." He left silently, comes in half an hour with some kind of piece of paper, says: "Sign." I read this piece of paper - there is such a rzhach! Some kind of application for the loss of the phone is written, and they bring me my phone, they ask: "Yours?" I say: "Well, yes, mine, you yourself took it." And where I have to comment on the application, everything is crossed out by the letter “Z”, so I could not add anything. I say: "Let's draw up a different statement, this is not entirely true." He says: “So this is your phone? If so, then sign. ” Since there was nothing criminal there, I had to sign it, I didn’t want to lose the phone. After that, they say, they say, you are free. I'm shocked simply.
