Кстати, обычно говорят "Ранее задерживались?" Арест by Russian laws, means a punishment, keeping a person in isolation of socety from 1 month upto 6 months. Задержание is a prossesual act of a short-time freedom limitation, upto 3 days.

Where is the stress on this word?

Perhaps you have forgot: "Давай, давай". Russians tell it always to Germans in the films.

In Aleksandr Nevsky I hear many times used as an insult "собака", but since the dog was almost a князь у меня... one risks of saying that and that it becomes a compliment.

"Собака" is an insult. It's not so offensive as it used to be in Nevsky's times but still it may be used so. (A son of a bitch (Сукин сын) has replaced it).

Ramil, imho you are unfair to russian police. AFAIK, the US cops usually shout "freez!!!" and shoot, or they even shoot and then shout "freez" instead of "could you stay here for a while, please". The last thing a russian police officer can do is shooting. Every shot is a great rape session for a russian police officer with a lot of reports, finding and showing the shot shells and investigation about an accident, did he realy have rights to shoot when a thug started to cut his throat? Trust me, i know what i'm talking about...

Actually for my purposes it would be better to use phrases that are a little polite. Similar to US police.
(US cops usually are more polite than you would think)

Ditto. And, american cops will try to avoid shooting, by any means. But, they will shoot back if someone is shooting at them.

I still need help with a few more. I have to correctly make the Imperative out of вытянуть with stress.

Again I need common ways to say these:

Вытяни ноги!
Spread your legs.

Полежи, лицом к полу!
Lie down with your face to the floor/ground.


Любое повреждено?
Is anyone injured?


Где вы повреждены?
Where are you injured?

Расставить ноги!
Spread your legs.

Лечь на землю (лицом вниз)!
Lie down with your face to the floor/ground.

Есть раненые/пострадавшие? or Кто-нибудь ранен/пострадал?
Is anyone injured?

Куда вы ранены?
Where are you injured?

Are you really studying police vocabulary or is it a cover for something else....

For your purposes there should be two polices - one police for normal people, another police for criminals

You'd better to learn how to understand your competitors in this market. These lads have a very poor sence of humor.

Thanks for the help!

Hmm..... Where is the stress on наручниками ?

It's наручниками, если не ошибаюсь
