Part of Russian Police Training Today

Ok, so he is an interesting story. Today I am walking to the store, talking to a friend on the phone in English, when I pass by a Russian Police car. No big deal, happens all the time, think nothing of it. Next thing I know 2 of them politely ask me to stop and show them my documents. Kinda strange but nothing too out of the ordinary and I of course I comply. Show them my passport, registration, visa, and migration card. Here is where it gets interesting. As I provide each other, the older cop starts pointing out stuff to the younger one. At this point I realize it is a training session. The young cop is new to the job and the older one is just showing him what he needs to look for and check on each document. They heard me speaking English and the older cop realized it was a perfect opportunity to train the new guy. So, they checked my papers, everything was in order, the wished me a pleasant day and I went on my way.
