Each resident of the country should be responsible for any of their actions. Punishment for illegal actions or inaction can be very diverse. It all depends on which
Code of the Russian Federation gets one or another offense.
All sentences are divided into three main types: imprisonment , a fine, or community service. In criminal cases, quite often faces imprisonment or a suspended sentence, depending on the gravity of the crime. For administrative offenses, a fine is imposed, which also has different sizes.
In Russia, a large number of people are attracted for administrative offenses. But the punishment may not come, in particular, when the term for bringing to administrative responsibility in the case has already expired. This happens if its subjects committed the offense a long time ago.
They are attracted to administrative responsibility in cases when a violation has been committed in the following areas:
- customs;
- budget;
- antitrust;
- patent;
- currency;
- health protection;
- education;
- conservation of natural resources;
- energy saving;
- road safety;
- state regulation of prices;
- determination of tariffs for utilities;
- fire safety;
- safety in production.
The subjects of administrative responsibility are any citizens who have reached the age of 16 years. From 16 to 18 years, if a citizen is held accountable, he is dealt with by the juvenile affairs department. From the age of 18, citizens are attracted to
responsibility in a general manner.
The most common offenses are related to traffic rules, business activities, the environment and nature management.
The terms of bringing to administrative responsibility can be increased or, conversely, reduced by a judge, since unforeseen circumstances may arise during the consideration of administrative cases . For example, the law was repealed or an amnesty act was issued in this case. The term for administrative liability is an average of 2 months to one year. The beginning of the term shall be considered either the moment of commission of the unlawful act or the moment of acceptance of this case for consideration.
For example, if you have committed an unlawful act that falls under the criminal code and under the administrative one, then the term for bringing to administrative responsibility will begin after the criminal case is closed (if it is not followed by a penalty of imprisonment). For example, you hit a person through his fault and on the same day violated traffic rules. Until they consider the case of the first unlawful violation,
the second does not begin the period of bringing to administrative responsibility.
If at the time of the administrative violation you were in a foreign city (district, village, etc.), then the case will be considered at the place of its commission. If a petition is filed for the consideration of this case at the place of residence and its satisfaction, the deadline for execution will be suspended. It will continue only after being accepted for consideration at the place of your residence.
The punishment for this type of offense is assigned depending on who committed them. Pregnant women and minor citizens can count on commutation of sentences.
