Cop jailed for ordering civilians to form human roadblock to stop crook

A Russian traffic cop has been jailed for a year after he forced motorists to form a human roadblock to stop a fleeing crook in a stolen car.

Inspector Oleg Sokolov ordered civilians to block a Moscow road with their cars while staying behind the wheel in order to halt the thief’s getaway car, the Austrian Times reports.

Not only did the terrified motorists fail to stop the crook, they were denied compensation after their cars were totaled when the thief crashed through the road block.

It was unclear if any injuries were sustained.
