Not afraid of gangsters, but afraid of policemen: a battle of wits with the police in Moscow

The police in Moscow count as a "scene". Each of them has a powerful body, wearing camouflage and bullet-proof vest. Apart from police clubs and pistols, many policemen also carry assault rifles and drive police cars to patrol everywhere. The police have great power and can check any person's passport at any time. Each time my mother and I go out, my father will remind us that we must take our passports with us; otherwise, we will get into great trouble.
