Fines for violating silence will increase in the Vladimir region
Until now, for the noise at night (they are considered time from 10 pm to 6 am) “with the use of televisions, radios, tape recorders, through loud singing, shouting, whistling, playing musical instruments” violators were fined from 500 to 1000 rubles, and officials - from 500 to 2500 rubles.
The Committee on Government, Law and Order and Local Self-Government of the Legislative Assembly of the Vladimir Region approved amendments to the regional law “On Administrative Violations in the Vladimir Region”. The deputies unanimously voted to increase the fines for those who rage at night, organize night parties or simply turn on loudspeakers.
All about the law On silence in the Moscow region
Please note: the law applies to all premises of multi-apartment residential buildings - not only to privatized, privately owned, but also to common buildings - attics, basements, flights of stairs, etc.
No noisy activities are allowed in any of the listed places.
Thus, the legal sphere is somewhat delimited by these two normative acts. The federal law establishes the maximum amount of sound background that cannot be exceeded at night and daytime, and the regional law of the Moscow Region specifies the time periods in which certain norms are valid, and gives examples of “noisy” activities that are prohibited.
The law of silence has lost its powers
As explained by Zebra TV in the department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Vladimir region, since July 2014, the police are not authorized to draw up protocols for offenses related to the violation of peace and tranquility. This happened after amendments were made to the federal legislation concerning the division of powers between the federal executive authorities and the executive authorities of the constituent entities of Russia.
The police specify that certain difficulties with the implementation of the “law of silence” began to arise when it was not yet specified who had the authority to draw up protocols for this group of administrative offenses. Now the legislation stipulates that protocols can be drawn up by an administrative commission. Theoretically, it will also bring violators to justice.
The law on silence in the Vladimir region does not work
“We used to have the right to draw up protocols for breaking the silence, for breaking the rules for walking dogs, for throwing garbage in the wrong places and for washing cars, but now we can’t do anything. How to explain this to people? - the precincts are indignant with one voice. We'd love to help, but we're tied hand and foot. They say about us that we do not want to work. Yes, believe me, we can and want to, give only the authority!
- Another option is to conclude an agreement with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and finance the work of police officers at the regional level. Then the police will have the authority to fine for violations provided for by the regional law, Roman Kavinov explains. - Such an agreement has already been prepared and signed by the governor, but for some reason there is still silence in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Responsibility for disturbing the peace of citizens
Citizens living in an apartment building suffer the most from noise. Where there are thin walls, there is no peace from the neighbors, not only on weekends, but also on weekdays. Especially on the weekends of January. Although the new noise law makes it possible to break the silence on January 1, you will still have to keep quiet on the rest of the month. But let's talk about everything in order. The law clearly prescribes the level of noise in decibels and the provision of silence over time.You can read more about the violation of the peace and quiet of citizens during the day, on weekends, at night in the Russian Federation in 2018 on our website.
