Russia: NA in Moscow
Legal advice on protecting against pedestrian fraud victims: - If a scammer jumps in front of your car and demands money to 'solve the issue' - there are articles in the Criminal Code: Article 163 (Extortion) and Article 159 (Fraud). - Scammers rely on fear of criminal responsibility, but it only applies if the pedestrian suffers serious harm. - Do not leave the scene of the incident and call traffic police (GIBDD). - The outcome of the dispute is determined by video evidence - experts easily identify whether there was an impact or if the person ran into the car themselves. - If the scammers do not flee immediately, you can take the matter to court under Article 306 of the Criminal Code (False Accusation).
