In the past 10 months since early 2022, 138,056 motorists have been fined on the streets of Moscow for violating car window tinting rules. It turns out that the traffic police of the capital draw up about 460 protocols every day under part 3.1 of art. 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Violations “Driving a vehicle fitted with glass, the translucency of which does not meet the requirements of the technical regulation on the safety of wheeled vehicles.” It implies a warning or a fine of 500 rubles.

– If motorists do not remove the tint at the place where the offense has been detected, the traffic police will issue an obligation to remove the tint. If the driver has ignored this requirement, administrative responsibility accrues to him pursuant to part 1 of art. 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Disobedience to a lawful order or demand of a police officer,” the Moscow traffic police said in a statement.

Remember that Art. 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses threatens with a penalty of up to 15 days of administrative detention. One can only guess what exactly prompted the capital’s law enforcement officers to threaten to use such heavy administrative “artillery” against color lovers. Either the neglect of drivers with fines of 500 rubles, or the lack of reporting protocols precisely under Article 19.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
