Riga resident Dominiks lives on Lokomotives Street in Kengarags. The young man admits that finding a free spot in the yard to leave the car is quite difficult, reports the show "Bez Tabu" (TV3).
Dominiks received a monetary fine of 40 euros. However, the driver believes that the fine was unjustified. He attempted to appeal the fine, but unsuccessfully.
Although Dominiks could park his car in the garage, he does not do so, as often someone from the neighborhood parks their car right in front of his garage door.
The Riga Municipal Police explained that they do not have information about garage owners, so it is impossible to verify whether the vehicle belongs to the owner of a specific garage before applying a fine. In cases where the police receive a complaint (most often anonymous) about an obstructive vehicle, the decision is made based on the actual situation recorded on site. Such parking not only obstructs access to garages but also complicates the movement of vehicles themselves.
A lawyer not connected to the case, Ivars Kazaks, also believes that Dominiks was fined unjustly. In his opinion, relevant evidence was likely not submitted during the appeal of the fine, which is why it was not possible to contest the police's decision. Given that the driver's complaint was rejected, he can appeal to the court in this case.
