That will likely be the whole symbol of this change. An idiotic renaming from militsiya to police achieves nothing. It is a repackaging and repackaging the same product and selling as new is the most pathetic attempt at reform I have ever heard in my life. It would help if police wouldn't stop people and take Vzyatki for 200$ claiming they were speeding 249km and hour in a Zhiguli, which is impossible... THESE are the reasons people have no trust, NOT THE NAME!!! nonsense that exists in this world is never ending.
