Going to the store without a mask has been declared a "significant violation" by the Supreme Court

As reported by TASS, citing data on the website of the Armed Forces, the court rejected the complaint of a resident of Yakutia, who tried to prove that refusing to wear a mask in a public place was an insignificant violation.

“Taking into account the nature of the act committed, the factual circumstances of this case, the courts rightly concluded that there were no grounds in this case for applying the provisions of Article 2.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation“ On the insignificance of a crime and release from punishment”, - the court ruling says.

The publication clarifies that the police detained a resident of Yakutia in a shop without a mask. For violation of sanitary rules during a pandemic, an administrative protocol was drawn up and a fine was issued.

The applicant disagreed with this decision and began to appeal against it. In his stubbornness to prove the insignificance of the offense, he reached the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. However, the VS did not take into account the applicant's arguments, considering the drawing up of the protocol and the imposition of a fine lawful.
