The Russian government did not support the bill, which suggested the possibility of replacing the payment of fines for traffic violations with forced labor. In this respect reports “Russian newspaper”.
One of the State Duma deputies proposed making relevant changes to the Administrative Code. The bill assumed that the person who violated the traffic rule could solve this problem in his free time from his main job, instead of paying a fine. Such drivers may be sent to clean streets, maintain flower beds or clear snow, for example.
In the government’s response to the bill, it is stated that the proposed changes contradict basic approaches in the field of legal regulation of administrative responsibility. It is stated that forced labor is a much more severe form of punishment than an administrative fine.
“Compulsory labor is appointed only by a judge, which makes it impossible to apply the replacement mechanism proposed in the bill in cases where administrative fines are imposed by other administrative jurisdictions,” government experts said in a statement.
The possibility of residual compulsory labor is already provided for in the law, but this does not eliminate the need to pay fines.
