Escalated Law Enforcement Measures: Proposed Tougher Consequences for Evading Police in Latvia
In a bid to address the more harmful nature of the combined offence, amendments are being proposed to change the current administrative liability for the combined offence of aggressive driving and failure to stop into criminal liability.
The suggestion for these amendments comes from the Member of Parliament, Judins, who believes that the combination of aggressive driving and failure to comply with requests to stop a vehicle should be criminalized.
Currently, this combination of offences is subject to administrative liability. However, if the amendments are approved, the combination of aggressive driving and failure to stop will become a criminal offence.
The Parliament's approval is necessary for these amendments to enter into force. If they are approved, the change in liability from administrative to criminal for the combined offence is proposed.
Judins argues that the combined offence is more harmful, and the proposed amendments aim to address this issue. The name of the law planned to punish aggressive driving after repeated instructions to stop the vehicle is not explicitly mentioned in the search results. However, the closest reference relates to a general ordinance by the Tübingen District Office addressing public safety issues caused by aggressive behaviour in the car tuning and posing scene.
The amendments concerning the criminalization of the combined offence are pending approval by the Parliament in its final reading. Once approved and entered into force, the combined offence of aggressive driving and failure to stop will become a criminal offence, with penalties including up to two years imprisonment, temporary detention, probation supervision, community service, or fines, and license confiscation for up to five years.
