Two incidents took place on November 7 and 8, during the patrolling of the INP North Patrol Battalion team. Patrol inspectors have stopped transport units to exceed traffic speeds.
During the documenting of contraventions, drivers have proposed financial means not to have them drawn up. Being warned by police officers of criminal liability for bribery, both suspects insisted and left money in the service car. In the course of criminal prosecution, the suspects acknowledged their guilt.
