Maybe check less now, but if you catch it, is it okay right away? These questions were posed by the reader who called the editorial office.
Ramūnas Matonis, Chief of the Communications Division of the Police Department, emphasized that the imposition of a fine or reversal of a car and simply a warning in case of a possible violation of the restriction of circulation between municipalities should be decided taking into account the situation .
According to him, 963 cars were delivered in Lithuania last weekend. A total of 393 protocols were issued over the past weekend for quarantine violations. Of these, 51 were issued for violations of movement restrictions.
Depends on the situation
A representative of the police department assured that it is certainly not the case that any car that crosses or is about to cross the limits of another municipality without having the right to do so under the regulations of quarantine conditions is sanctioned with a fine.
Terms and conditions of movement between municipalities, subject to movement restrictions between municipalities, can be found here.
“The reversal or the fine depends on the situation. Each situation is evaluated individually. If officials see that a person is not doing it for the first time, trying to move to another position, then yes, they are fined.

If a person simply forgets a document, no one will really punish him. If he sees that the offender is malicious, then he can be punished without warning, “explained R. Matonis.
It can also be suspended within the municipality
Last week, according to the head of the Police Communication Division, the work of officers at posts at the entrances and exits of the municipalities was hampered by snow.
“Last week a lot depended on weather conditions, weather conditions did not allow the installation of poles. Later, the control at the posts was more complicated, therefore, the attention was more focused on other violations: self-isolation controls, divination and things like that, ”said R. Matonis.
Over the weekend, he said, there were definitely poles at the entrances and exits.
“There were posts over the weekend, but they are no longer permanent and change every few hours. We do not announce places or times in advance, so they can appear anywhere and at any time,” said a representative from the Police Department. .
It should come as no surprise that in smaller municipalities, cars have stopped or will stop more frequently within the municipality itself than at the entrance or exit of it.
“In smaller counties, this happens more often because cars are easier to spot. In big cities, it is very difficult to understand what is a seen car and a permanent resident, and what is an invisible car. In smaller cities, officials more or less know and know about cars, which makes it easier for them to spot a new, unfamiliar and unfamiliar car, ”said R. Matonis.
Both mobile and fixed points remain in the capital
According to Julija Samorokovskaja, representative of the Vilnius County Police Chief Commissariat, due to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, the quarantine period in Lithuania was extended until February 28, and the time to restrict movement between municipalities was extended until that date. . Therefore, both mobile and fixed checkpoints remained in Vilnius County.
According to her, during this weekend, more than 15,000 cars were stopped / inspected and 269 cars were handed over in Vilnius county (January 30-31). Eighteen administrative complaints of infringement due to non-compliance with quarantine were prepared.
“On the territory of the Republic of Lithuania, the movement of people between municipalities is restricted, except in cases where they go to: the municipality of their place of residence; to a municipality other than the place of residence due to the death of close relatives; work (in labor matters) when the workplace is in another municipality; to or from international passenger routes to or from airports, seaports, bus stations; on health services ”, recalled the police representative.
