Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – January 16, 2021 – Auto
The patrol police began to issue fines of 8,500 hryvnias for car owners on Euro-number plates. The cops got access to the customs database and can now check if the rules for importing euro badges into Ukraine have been violated.
The head of the organization “Auto Euro Power” Oleg Yaroshevich spoke about numerous similar cases. According to him, only in Kharkiv and Kharkiv region 15 fines were issued on January 15.
Auto Euro Force refers to an agreement with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, according to which the police seem to have promised not to pursue car owners using Euro number plates during a lockdown. The activists are going to provide protection to motorists who have received a fine for violating the temporary import or transit period.
Also, there were previously noted cases when the courts canceled the fines issued by the Patrol Police. They argued that the cops have no right to stop the car if there was no traffic violation.
