What counts as petty hooliganism
Under article 183 of the Code on Administrative Liability, petty hooliganism is deliberate disregard of the rules of behaviour in society: obscene language in public places, insulting harassment of citizens, and other acts that break public order and the peace of citizens.
The procedure
The officer draws up a report, and the case goes to the court or to the internal affairs body. The district (city) criminal court imposes administrative arrest (the state of emergency regime is the exception). While the case is heard, you have the right to take part, to give explanations and to submit evidence.
Your rights
Under article 294 of the Code on Administrative Liability: the help of an advocate; access to the case materials; explanations and evidence; requests, for example to call witnesses; speech in your native language and the help of an interpreter; an appeal against the decision. You may also attach your own remarks to the report.
Advice
If the report states the facts wrongly, do not refuse to sign. Write your objections and sign. That is the ground for a later complaint.
