Lithuanian Police General Commissioner Renatas Požėla stated that in two days a total of over 600 cars were overturned.
“In the first two days, more than 600 vehicles simply turned around and were not allowed to go to their destinations. Most of the cars turned around trying to enter the city of Palanga. Because, as you know, we have had and have prepared a special plan for the city of Palanga, and basically there are no moving poles, but the fixed poles are operating since Wednesday, ”said R. Požėla.

Speaking about Vilnius County, the Commissioner noted that the situation is calm and there are no conflicts.
“In most cases, people are ready for screening procedures, they have travel documents, certificates, supporting statements. With enough people in mind, screening procedures are quick, fast, we wish people good luck. and we allow them to move on. “Conflict situations have largely not been heard until now,” said the Commissioner General.
Car traffic has decreased
The police chief added that the number of travelers had decreased compared to Wednesday compared to the current days.
“It just came to our notice then. And the flows are slowing down a bit. Of course, perhaps the exception is this period, this time when there is still kind of a rush hour when people come back from work, but we hope that the flows on Saturday and Sunday decrease ”, he said.
When asked how the control of people who return from another country and wish to enter another municipal territory will be carried out, R. Požėla assured that the criteria of reasonableness will be used.
“We have grouped the main questions, so that people can really know the position and the response of the officials beforehand, but again, we do not rule out that there are different situations. <...> There is a general point that officials can make an individual decision. It is I who pre-announced an individual decision for the emigrants who come and do not have any property or residence.

This again affects the criteria of reasonableness, and for those who say that my real place of residence is with my parents, we must miss those people, ”added R. Požėla.
Cunning fines – from 500 euros
R. Požėla also added that drivers should not be misled by police officers, otherwise they will face fines.
“It just came to our attention then. The rules of the game are clear to everyone. There are points that we have to cross, we have to present arguments. Those who try to cheat in this way will receive Christmas police” bonuses “starting at 500 euros,” added the police chief.

Interior Minister Agnė Bilotaitė was also going to attend the press conference, but due to contact with a person who may have been infected with the coronavirus, she had to isolate herself.
In addition, it is observed that since Friday stationary police stations were installed at the entrances to municipal centers.
Access to another municipality will only be possible for a serious reason: on the way to work, if necessary, emergency medical assistance to get to the place of residence, travel to a funeral or other important purposes.
Evaluated the dissemination of information in social groups
Following the announcement of the promised traffic restrictions, different groups soon emerged in the social space to allow drivers to share information with each other and indicate where the police checkpoints are located.
Speaking of such an initiative by users of social networks, R. Požėla assured that in this way people will not deceive the police officers, but themselves and their relatives.
“Here is the daily life of Lithuania. We have many different groups, where we share information about” tripods “, about police equipment, that is nothing new here. But again, it will not be the case that you deceive the police. We do not need be deceived. In this way, people will deceive themselves, themselves and their loved ones, “said R. Požėla.
The political scientist also helps
Ainė Ramonaitė, shooter and political scientist, helps the police at the Avižieniai checkpoint.
“Some people are really prepared, but there are some who don’t understand it, we had to change some,” the political scientist told BNS.
He said he checked the cars of the newcomers and, if there were any problems, called the police for help.
“We just stop and check, if something goes wrong, we hand it over to the police for processing,” said A. Ramonaitė.
According to her, the shooters are trying to help the state with this challenge, some are even taking a vacation.
“We try to do duty and who takes the leave from work, who is in some way different,” said the shooter.
In addition to the shooters, the police are also assisted by military police and border guards.
Can disembark passengers
Previously, police officers pointed out that people traveling by local public transport, as well as trains, could disembark if they did not demonstrate the need to travel.
R. Požėla recalled the same thing during the press conference, who hoped that residents had heard an important police message.
“I very much hope that those who drive the buses have heard our message and read the Government’s resolution, and there will be no problems with them,” added the police chief.
The police remember that to avoid problems, residents should not forget to bring documents that justify the purpose of the trip.
