The aim of the police is not to catch criminals and the aim of the people should not be to deceive anyone. In that case, in the first place, he would be fooling himself and his loved ones. “
According to the police chief, residents are advised to have documents confirming the reasons for moving from one municipality to another: “It is possible to photograph a document with smart devices and present it to an officer. This would simplify the inspection itself. “
Speaking of the emigrants, R. Požėla said that efforts would be made to listen to their arguments. However, if a person has real estate in one municipality and intends to go with his parents in another, the police have the right to stop such travel.
When no checkpoints are installed, 60 additional police teams will work. Also other forces already mentioned by Minister Bilotaitė. Therefore, inspections will be carried out not only on these “hot” days, but also on other days.
