“We have a sufficient range of non-public measures. This includes video capture systems, cameras and even the same ‘tripods’ can be used,” said R. Požėla.
According to him, it is very possible that along with the speeding protocol on some road, drivers are contacted by questions about why they crossed the borders of one or another municipality, although they did not have permission to do so.
“The possibilities for the police to prevent and identify violations are really wide,” warned R. Požėla.
As Delfi announced, the police will organize stationary checkpoints in all municipal centers and will control incoming vehicles. This will take place from December 18. 1 pm until December 20. 9 pm and from December 23. 1 pm to 27 d. 9 pm Restrictions on immobilization will also apply from December 31st. 1 pm until January 3. 9 pm
Around 250 checkpoints will be installed and around 920 crews will take to the streets, generally about 750 crews will patrol the streets and highways.
Part of the accesses to the municipalities will be blocked, cameras will have to be installed, restrictive signage. On days when checkpoints will not be installed, 60 additional crews will be added to the police force, who will be able to stop vehicles and verify the legality of the movement of people.
Fines – only in exceptional cases
According to R. Požėla, if residents have questions about whether they can drive or not, it would be best to contact the police officers at 8 700 60000 and inquire.
According to R. Požėla, administrative sanctions will be imposed on individuals only in exceptional cases. The General Commissioner of Police states that the purpose of the agents is in the first place to explain to people why they cannot travel to one or another territory of the municipality.
“We reserve the imposition of administrative sanctions only as an unavoidable measure due to exceptional situations and when we cannot find common ground with people. There were 3,500 such cases during both quarantine periods, which means that many people have been brought to administrative responsibility for violations of various quarantine requirements, “he said.
The Easter weekend cost the state 780 thousand euros
Police Commissioner General Renatas Požėla says that ensuring movement restrictions between municipalities is very expensive for the state. According to him, on Easter weekend, when additional forces were used and checkpoints are being installed, it cost the state about 780,000 euros.
“It just came to our attention then. The Easter weekend cost the state budget 780 thousand euros. That’s what I’m talking about overtime pay for officers,” said R. Požėla.
For this reason, the General Commissioner of Police urges the population not to leave without reason and to appreciate the contribution of the officials and the State.
