The reader wrote to Delfi’s editorial office after sharing a photo of a BMW car, the number of which the inscription “Man pa ** bat” is clearly visible in the number frame, which might sound like “Man nusiš * kt” on Lithuanian, and so on.
“I wonder if such an entry is tolerated, or if it is still considered inadmissible and offensive,” asked the man who wrote to the editorial office.
Delfi recalls that the saying became a kind of virus on social media after an arrogant bus service employee insulted the customer in uncensored words for his comments about his driving. In the distributed video, he even listens multiple times to how the carrier emphasizes that the customer doesn’t forget to complain, evaluates the trip negatively, and spits it all out, to put it mildly.
Can be punished
As the representatives of the Lithuanian Highway Police Service (LKPT) explained, number frames with uncensored inscriptions cannot be tolerated.
“For such a note, the police could apply Article 481 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (ANC) to a person,” Minor violation of public order, “the police said in a response.
This article establishes that indecent words or gestures in public places, insulting harassment of people and other intentional acts intended to violate public order and the severity of people are punished with a fine of 30 to 140 euros.
Repeated infractions increase the fine from 140 to 240 euros.
According to Delfi, some drivers, having decided to “decorate” their cars with uncensored inscription frames, have already caught the attention of officials driving around the city. So far, the fines have not been distributed, but drivers have been ordered to remove the frames and replace them with others suitable for public use.
