Why keep track of fines?
In case of failure to pay the fine on time, administrative liability arises.
According to Part 1 of Art. 20.25 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, this entails one of three consequences: an administrative fine of double the amount, but not less than one thousand rubles, administrative arrest for up to 15 days, or compulsory labor for up to fifty hours.
The administrative fine must be paid within 60 days after discharge, in accordance with Article 32.2. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. You can also appeal it within the first 10 days.
It’s also better not to delay with car fines.
Due to an overdue fine, according to Law No. 229 “On Enforcement Proceedings,” your bank accounts and cards may be blocked or the amount of the fine doubled may be automatically debited from them.
Bailiffs may even seize personal property to pay off a debt or temporarily restrict your driving privileges until the debt is paid off. The most persistent defaulters, who are hiding from both fines and punishment, can be put on the federal wanted list by the bailiffs.
You need to keep track of fines even if you are not issued one.
The car must be checked for their presence before purchase. If they are not repaid by the previous owner, then you will have to pay them.
Sellers themselves may not be aware of their debts to the traffic police, for example, due to a letter not being received. But sometimes they deliberately hide information so that they fall on the new owner.
Can you find any person's fines online?
No. Fines are personal data. By law, they are available only to the person himself. Publication of fines is prohibited in accordance with Federal Law No. 152-FZ “On Personal Data”.
If information about a person’s fines appears online, it is most likely obtained illegally. Or the attacker knows the person’s data, such as the series and number of a passport or STS number.
It is technically impossible to find out the administrative fines of a person, knowing only his first and last name, or the fines of a car, knowing only his license plate number.
Any services access the unified databases of the FSPP, GIS GMP or the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. They necessarily require, at a minimum, the full date of birth, passport data or car registration certificate (CTC).
Any website that entices you to check fines, for example, only by car number, deceives the user or substitutes concepts.
He either publishes information that does not correspond to reality, or disguises a check by license plate and STS under the request “checking fines by license plate number”. Or it obtains information illegally, by hacking the user’s database or devices.
But on the Internet you can easily search and track your own fines.
