It has been investigated that police preventive measures are applied not only in connection with the commission of an offense by a person. For example, such preventive measures as questioning, stopping a vehicle, using technical devices, police custody, etc. can be applied to persons who have not committed and do not intend to commit an offense. The division of police preventive measures was carried out according to the criterion of presence in the procedure of their use of coercion. Separate elements of coercion are contained in the following preventive measures: checking a person’s documents, surface check, restriction of movement of a person, vehicle or actual possession of a thing, penetration into a person’s home or other property. It is noted that the emergence of police guardianship has become a new phenomenon in the system of preventive police measures.

It is indicated that during the application of the preventive measure “surface check” of the vehicle, it is not about intrusion into another property, but only about a visual inspection only if there are legal grounds. Such a visual inspection must be carried out without entering the vehicle, that is, carried out from the outside.
