Officials sent a corresponding request to the Constitutional Court. In their request, the deputies said that the amendments that increased the cost of fines were adopted in violation of the legislative procedure and may further lead to an increase in corruption among traffic police officers. If the court supports the arguments of the applicants, the law may be recognized as unconstitutional.
The request to the Constitutional Court sent 97 deputies from various factions. Officials said that the increase in fines violates constitutional principles, since measures of administrative responsibility should be based on objective data. Parliamentarians believe that an increase in sanctions will reduce the number of violations, and excessive fines will make their payment difficult. In addition, an increase in tariffs can lead to the development of corruption, since drivers will strive to avoid administrative responsibility by unofficial ways to save money.
In Russia, they want to repeatedly increase fines for non -removal of an ambulance in Russia, a fine for transporting children without car seats in Russia is going to increase the fine for an undetested belt
At the same time, the representative of the Constitutional Court stated that the law was adopted in compliance with all procedures, and the reduction in accident rate in recent years has become the result of complex measures, including tightening liability for traffic rules. Now the constitutional court will have to consider a request from deputies and make a final decision. If the court supports the arguments of officials, the law may be recognized as unconstitutional.
At the same time, in December last year, the State Duma itself approved a increase in fines for traffic violators. In addition, the deputies decided to reduce the discount for payment to 25 percent.
