As explained by the traffic police officer, who wished to remain anonymous, this is done for various reasons. The inspector may suspect a person of using drugs, and to confirm this fact, a blood test is needed. The second reason is often the presence of drunken passengers in the car - then the driver automatically falls under suspicion.
Often this option is also used as revenge for those who argue with employees. A person will have to spend time on the necessary procedures and in the future he will prefer not to argue when stopping.
Finally, in case of refusal to undergo an examination, the person for whom the protocol is drawn up is almost always deprived of his rights. This is a violation of the law by an employee, but this sometimes happens. Here's what the drivers think about it:
Law enforcers interpret laws to their advantage. And they forget that they are also responsible for compliance with regulations and ensuring the rights of citizens. But the majority go to the authorities because of the craving for power, you should not be surprised at such incidents. The wounded pride of an employee is a weighty reason for any examinations.
Alexei R. commented.
The inspector always wins in such a situation. A person will waste time if he has not used anything. And if there are traces of alcohol or drug intoxication, then he will also lose his license and receive a fine.
Vasily Fedorovich expressed his opinion
The one who has shoulder straps is right, this truth has long been known. Employees often do things they shouldn't. But holding them accountable for this is difficult or impossible.

I have never been impudent to employees, I have been traveling for a couple of decades, they were not sent for examination. Let's not forget that hundreds of thousands of boors drive on our roads, who simply do not know the rules. In such a situation, I will take the side of the inspector, they must be punished by any available means.

When they were sent for examination without good reason and the tests are clean, it is not difficult to ruin the life of an employee. An application is written and submitted to the traffic police. There they begin an official investigation, which will cost a lot of time and nerves to the inspector. Complaints can be submitted to different authorities, then he will have a very hard time.
- summed up Dmitry Alekseevich.
