Yakutsk's New Chairman Proposes Stricter Measures Against Public Profanity
Andrey Vysokikh, the newly appointed chairman of Yakutsk's Public Chamber, has sparked a debate by proposing stricter administrative measures against public profanity. His call for increased preventive work has been met with support from city deputies, but some question the police's ability to enforce such measures effectively.
Vysokikh's proposal comes amidst concerns about the widespread use of profanity in the city. However, many residents consider other issues, such as poor road conditions, inadequate public transport, and housing problems, to be more pressing. They believe addressing the root causes of their frustration could potentially reduce public swearing.
Public swearing is currently punishable under Article 20.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. However, enforcement primarily falls to the police, who are already stretched thin dealing with more serious criminal incidents. A recent mass brawl on Yaroslavsky Street has raised doubts about their capacity to effectively tackle public profanity.
Andrey Vysokikh's call for stricter measures against public swearing has initiated a discussion among city deputies. While some support his proposal, others question the police's ability to enforce these measures effectively, given their current workload. The debate highlights the need for a balanced approach that addresses both public swearing and the root causes of residents' frustration.
