The peasant woman Agnė Širinskienė also “won” the protocol: she explained to the officials that she was going to the gas station, but did not finish her journey with him, so the officials found her at the grocery store and the Seimas confronted a fine. Širinskienė herself says that the motion control is stupid and intends to go to court. And the Emergency Commission proposes to further tighten the restrictions and specify how many people can drive in a car.
During the weekend, the peasant Agnė Širinskienė felt the effect of the police firebreaks at the entrances to the city. The parliamentarian decided to go to the gas station and shop in the town of Dūkštas, Ignalina district, where she lives with her husband. And he turned to Visaginas, a few kilometers away. There he came across a police post.
“I said that the situation is such that I’m not going to go to Vilnius anymore, because I had about 50 kilometers of fuel left, for me, if it was so open, even if I had a problem going to Ignalina, they said well, let’s go, but they didn’t listen If I’m going to go somewhere else, I didn’t mention that I can only go to the gas station, well, it seemed obvious to me that it is possible to buy food, ”says Seimas member Agnė Širinskienė.
After paying for the products at the store, Širinskienė noticed that the same officials who admitted her to Visaginas were already waiting for her.
“No protocol was written to me, it was only said that they would inform management and the interview, so of course I am eager to get to that end, it is already formal, since everything in that protocol looks like this,” he says A. Širinskienė.
An administrative process has been initiated for violation of the quarantine requirements, it will be investigated and a fine will be imposed. A member of the Seimas is not an exceptional person and the law applies equally to everyone. For a member of the Seimas, an ordinary citizen and anyone, ”said Ramūnas Matonis, a representative of the Police Department.
Širinskienė faces a fine of between half and 1,500 euros. It is true that for the first time half the minimum fine is imposed for an offense. So the MP will probably have to deposit a hundred and a half euros.
“Well, if I get a ticket for buying food for a spouse with so many different illnesses, I really believe that we will definitely verify that proportionality in the Restrictions Court. I’m not really mad at the Visaginas police, they work as they understood they had to work and everything is fine, but when the law is stupid, this is probably a problem here, ”says A. Širinskienė.
“Today, by their behavior, they set a bad example to the public, that they cannot follow the rules, that they can criticize those rules, I believe that politicians should have higher standards of behavior and morality and set a good example to the public,” he says the Minister of the Interior, Agnė Bilotaitė.
Not only Širinskienė had problems with the officers. 13,000 drivers turned their cars around at police stations. A total of 324 protocols were written over the weekend for quarantine violations, and another 220 drivers were fined for traffic violations.
The officers were also caught by 6 drunk drivers who also had no right to drive. At the mobile stations, 17 people who had previously been searching for law enforcement officers approached the officers.
“These measures have had an effect, probably in every way, and I think this has also affected the general security of the Lithuanian population,” says Renatas Požėla, Police Commissioner General.
Residents may have been safer for a few days, but it’s unclear if they’re happier. There was a traffic jam in Kaunas on Friday after work. The drivers said that due to the police station and the resulting traffic jam, they drove about 10 kilometers and 2, and 3, and even 4 hours.
The interior minister says this weekend was like a dress rehearsal before the holiday period. Therefore, surveillance tactics and certain requirements for the population will change slightly. The government is asked to determine how many people can be in the car.
“There should be no more than 2 people in the car or members of a farm. Members of a family farm ”, says A. Bilotaitė.
“To ensure the prevention of possible traffic jams, we plan to use drones, and we also plan to plan the work in such a way that we spend part of our time monitoring residents leaving the municipal centers, not just those arriving,” he said R. Požėla.
Drivers will be subject to fewer checks today and tomorrow, but starting Wednesday, police will reinstate checkpoints across the country and check all drivers on Sunday night.
