In his opinion, this initiative will change little.
“Moreover, the courts, as a rule, do not give real terms of imprisonment.
If this is the first criminal conviction of a person, then they are limited to a fine or compulsory labor within the framework of the sanctions that the article has, ”he said.
At the same time, Lysakov emphasized the importance of combating drunk driving and recalled another measure, which, he believes, will become a more effective solution.
“The government in the last convocation introduced a good bill on bail for the return of a vehicle to drunk drivers ... According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, only 30% of us pay a fine, the rest get off with a slight fright - deprivation of driving license.
If drunk drivers were forced to pay 30 thousand rubles after a court decision (an amount equal to a fine), then in the event of a conviction, the money would automatically go to the regional budget.
It would be a very powerful motivation ... if the car had to be bought back in case of drunk driving, ”Lysakov said.
Earlier, the Russian government submitted to the State Duma a draft law to increase the punishment for repeated drunk driving.
