Hamran: Police have detected more than 800 violations of the measures, and also monitors the Internet – TVNOVINY.sk

In the last week, the police have recorded more than 800 violations of pandemic measures, and have checked more than 33,000 citizens. A special working group operating at the National Criminal Agency (NAKA) also monitors social networks. Hate speech in the form of a crime will be prosecuted. The interim police president, Štefan Hamran, informed about it at a press conference on Tuesday.

According to Hamran, in practice, police officers meet many citizens who welcome their presence on the streets. “However, we also come across a small group of fellow citizens who are intensively demanding their rights but forgetting their duties,” he said. He declared that the police took into account individual circumstances and the seriousness of the offense when imposing sanctions. According to Hamran, the application of repressive measures is “appropriate” in case of arrogance, rejection or aggression.

In recent days, the police have recorded the most frequent violations of the curfew and the ban on opening establishments, not wearing a veil and violations of a doctor’s quarantine. According to the police president, since the beginning of the year, the police have dealt with almost 70,000 illegal actions.

The head of the police pointed to, for example, an operation that did not respect the measures or subsequent sanctions, including the maximum fine of 5,000 euros. The case was therefore referred to the Public Health Office of the Slovak Republic, where the trader faces a fine of up to 20,000 euros and the withdrawal of trade. Three people face charges of rioting for the attack on infectologist Pavel Jarčuška.

Hamran would have no problem with mandatory vaccination for critical infrastructure.

Stefan Hamran also announced that he would run for police president. He applied for the competition on Tuesday.
