Validity period of a fine for an administrative offense
Statute of limitations for administrative offenses
An administrative violation is an action (or inaction) that is contrary to the law, but does not pose a serious danger to society and does not cause fundamental harm to it.
An administrative offense, although not regarded as a crime, is not approved by society, is suppressed by it and presupposes punishment for the crime.
The statute of limitations for administrative offenses applies both at the stage of bringing to justice and at the stage of enforcing the imposed punishment. At the same time, the statute of limitations and the procedure for calculating them may vary somewhat depending on the composition of the offense.
Responsibility and punishment in administrative law
Otherwise, the violator will be held accountable before the court according to the law (legal liability).
Administrative liability is one of the types of legal liability and is regulated by the Code of Administrative Offenses (Federal Law No. 195 2001/30/12, edition 2016/05/12 and 2016/21/12).
Administrative responsibility
Any unlawful intentional or careless act that violates civil rights, morality, established public order, health, ecology, and all types of relations within society is classified as an administrative offense.
Administrative liability arises precisely upon the fact of an offense and leads to restriction of access to certain public goods:
- narrowing the scope of personal and legal freedom of the offender;
- property and material costs;
- belittlement;
- damage to reputation and restriction of activities.
Administrative punishment
Being a reasonable reaction of the state to an offense (violation), punishment serves as a measure of the responsibility of the “troublemaker.”
Punishment, which aims to restore justice and legal balance in society, has not only a punitive function, but also an exemplary and educational one - so that others are discouraged (Administrative Offenses Code Art. 3.1).
When determining the degree of punishment, they rely (CAP Chapter 4) on the nature of the administrative offense and its potential consequences for society, but they must take into account the identity of the offender (the status of the enterprise, if the culprit is a legal entity), his financial situation, mitigating and aggravating circumstances of the case.
Administrative sanctions may be expressed as follows:
- censure (remark, reprimand, warning, etc.);
- imposition of a fine;
- deprivation of a special right (hunting, driving a vehicle, using special equipment) granted earlier, and confiscation of the weapon (object) that resulted in the offense;
- arrest and forced labor (up to 30 days);
- expulsion from the country (non-citizens of the Russian Federation);
- disqualification (removal from position) and freezing of activities.
In case of a combination of violations considered within the framework of one process, the punishment is not summed up, but is assigned under a more stringent article (Administrative Offenses Code, Article 4.4, paragraph 2).
Limitation period for administrative offenses
What is the statute of limitations for administrative offenses established by law?
Administrative liability, unlike criminal liability, is not so severe, and therefore does not entail a criminal record and is characterized by more flexible statutes of limitations.
In general, the limitation period for administrative violations is calculated as follows:
- 2 months – prosecution (3 months during judicial review);
- 2 years – execution of the imposed punishment.
For a number of offenses (Article 4.5, paragraph 1), the statute of limitations for prosecution is 1 year. For violations in the financial sector – 2 years. In corruption cases, the statute of limitations is 6 years.
According to the general rule, after a year, a person guilty of an administrative offense, who accepted and carried out the punishment, is already considered “clean” and has not been brought to justice. In other words, a citizen is classified as “brought to administrative responsibility” (subjected to punishment) from the moment the decision is made plus the time for execution plus one year after the “fact of retribution” has occurred.
The period begins to be calculated from the next day after the violation occurred and, accordingly, it came to the attention of the official.
Attempts to bring to justice after the expiration of the statute of limitations for an administrative offense are illegal (Article 24.5, paragraph 1, paragraph 6). In this case, the proceedings cannot be initiated, and if the procedure has already begun, it is immediately terminated (the case is closed).
The statute of limitations for execution of the punishment begins to be calculated from the moment the decision is made, which loses its legal force after 2 years. If during this time the resolution is not implemented, then it can be considered annulled. There cannot be a repeated prosecution for the same offense (Article 4.1, paragraph 5).
In the event that there is a delay, installment plan or suspension in the execution of the decision (Administrative Code Articles 31.5, 31.6), then the statute of limitations is extended for this period of time, that is, it is interrupted, then the period of installment plan/deferment/suspension is counted, then the statute of limitations continues. .
In case of deliberate evasion of the prescribed punishment, the statute of limitations is restored in its course from the moment of discovery of the culprit or his property.
In other words, an administrative penalty cannot be imposed after 2 years if the decision was made and forgotten about. If measures were taken, if they worked with the “client”, but he stubbornly hid, then the limitation period was interrupted and resumed every time after his discovery - thus, the 2-year limitation period could be noticeably lengthened.
Continuing offense
An offense is considered ongoing if it continues for a long time and does not cease until it is discovered by an authorized person (Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court No. 5 2005/24/03, paragraph 14).
On the other hand, if the deadline for fulfilling a specific obligation is clearly defined by legislative acts, but compliance has not followed, then the statute of limitations for an administrative violation should be counted from the moment the deadline expires (Letter of the State Customs Committee No. 01-06/2058 2002/27/05; Resolution of the Plenum BC No. 5 clause 14 paragraph 2).
In this case, the day of discovery (the starting point) is set as the day the protocol was drawn up and signed by an authorized person (Administrative Code Art. 4.5, p. 2).

Statute of limitations for administrative offenses of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate
Traffic police fines, being administrative, must be paid within 2 months.
If payment is made within 20 days, the amount of the fine is halved (Administrative Code Art. 32.2, paragraphs 1, 1.3).
The countdown begins 10 days after the offender receives the order.
If the fine is not paid, the bailiff initiates enforcement proceedings (Administrative Code Article 32.2, paragraph 5). Upon the opening of SSP production, the draft dodger is given 5 days to voluntarily cover the debt (Federal Law No. 229 2007/02/10, edition 2016/01/10, Article 30, Clause 12). After this, all income and property of the debtor come into the view of the bailiff. If the amount of traffic police fines exceeds 10 thousand, the bailiff imposes a temporary ban on the debtor traveling abroad (Federal Law No. 229, Article 67, paragraphs 1, 3).
The statute of limitations for imposing a fine is 2 months (through the court - 3 months), and for collection (a common offense) it is limited to 2 years from the date of the decision to impose an administrative penalty. The following provisions are available for appeal:
- 10 days – with the head of the state traffic inspectorate;
- 60 days – in court.
If the inspector does not issue a fine on the spot, then after 2 months he cannot bring the offender to justice. After 3 months, the statute of limitations for this violation expires completely and irrevocably.
Example. M exceeded the speed limit on January 15, 2014, was stopped by an inspector and fined. The decision to impose a fine became effective on January 25, 2014 (it was not appealed). On January 26, 2014, the statute of limitations began to run, which expired on January 26, 2016. Over the past 2 years, no one bothered him (no measures were taken) or tried to forcefully bring him to justice.
The traffic cop’s demand to pay the “debt” presented to him after the named date is not legal, since M did not hide or evade (they didn’t even try to find him), and the statute of limitations had expired - the resolution lost its force.
The statute of limitations for CCTV fines is no different from traditional fines.
The only difference is the imposition of punishment for malicious non-payment. In this case, arrest for 15 days is not possible (Administrative Code Art. 20.25, paragraph 3).
Any administrative violation implies responsibility for the act and punishment, which is assigned by special authorized persons (bodies).
The limitation period for filing claims and imposing penalties is generally limited to 2 months. The limitation period for executing a foreclosure order expires after 2 years. This does not mean that you can “wait it out” and thus hide from responsibility. If a draft dodger is identified, the measures that will be applied to him are very severe.

Statute of limitations for traffic police fines
Good afternoon, dear reader.
Not every driver knows that traffic police fines received quite a long time ago may not be paid on completely legal grounds.
This article will discuss the statute of limitations for traffic police fines , as well as the features of paying overdue fines for traffic violations.
Statute of limitations for traffic police fines
The statute of limitations for traffic police fines is regulated by Article 31.9 of the Code of Administrative Offences:
Article 31.9. Limitation period for execution of a decision imposing an administrative penalty
1. A resolution on the imposition of an administrative penalty is not subject to execution if this resolution has not been enforced within two years from the date of its entry into legal force.
The statute of limitations is 2 years from the date of entry into force of the decision imposing a fine.
Calculation of the statute of limitations for traffic police fines
Let me remind you that the decision to impose an administrative fine comes into force 10 days after it is issued (10 days are given for appealing it).
Thus, if the driver does not pay the traffic police fine within 2 years + 10 days , no one will be able to collect this fine from him.
Let's look at the situation using an example. Today is September 18, 2018. Let's subtract 2 years and 10 days from this date. Thus, fines for violations committed by drivers before September 7, 2016 do not need to be paid. Fines received after this date will have to be paid.
One more feature. If the driver appeals the decision to impose a fine (for example, in court), then 2 years will begin to count only after the decision comes into force, i.e. after the court hearing (+ possible period for appeal).
By the way, I would like to remind you that for failure to pay traffic police fines, the driver may be subject to a double fine (but not less than a thousand rubles), or compulsory work for up to 50 hours, or administrative arrest for up to 15 days. Administrative arrest cannot be used as punishment for non-payment of fines recorded automatically (by cameras).
Expiration of statute of limitations for administrative offenses: how to avoid liability
An offense is considered as an unlawful guilty act (inaction), for which administrative liability is established by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (CAO RF) or the relevant laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
Responsibility and punishment in administrative law
Administrative responsibility
Administrative punishment
- warning;
- fine;
- confiscation of the instrument or subject of the offense;
- deprivation of a special right granted to an individual;
- arrest;
- expulsion from the Russian Federation of a citizen of another country or a stateless person;
- disqualification;
- suspension of activities;
- compulsory work;
- a ban on visiting the venues of official sports competitions on the days they are held.
When there is no responsibility
If a judge, body, or other official authorized to resolve the case considers the offense to be insignificant, liability will also not occur, and as a result, consideration of the case may be limited to only an oral remark.
Statute of limitations
The statute of limitations for an administrative violation is the period of time during which prosecution under the law is possible.
- driving a vehicle (VV) by a driver who is intoxicated or transferring control to another person who is intoxicated;
- violation of traffic rules (traffic rules) or vehicle operating rules, which resulted in minor or moderate harm to the health of the victim;
- failure by the driver of the vehicle to comply with the requirement to undergo medical examination. examination for intoxication;
- failure to comply with traffic regulations requiring the driver not to consume alcoholic beverages, drugs or psychotropic substances after an accident in which he is involved, or after the vehicle was stopped at the request of a police officer, before an examination by an authorized official to establish the state of intoxication or until acceptance by an authorized official the person of the decision to exempt from such examination;
- violation of traffic rules by a pedestrian, vehicle passenger or other road user (except for the vehicle driver), which negligently resulted in the infliction of slight or moderate harm to the health of the victim.
Determination and calculation of deadlines
Suspension of the statute of limitations
Lapse of time
Any attempts to bring the person who committed the offense to justice after the expiration of the statute of limitations for administrative offenses are illegal.
Continuing offense
The situation is different with a continuing violation (action or inaction). We can talk about it if there is a long-term, continuous failure to fulfill the obligations provided for by law or other regulatory legal act.
An example in the field of road traffic is driving a vehicle in the presence of faults or driving a vehicle on which glass is installed, the light transmission of which does not meet the requirements of technical regulations. Thus, these offenses trace a long-term failure to fulfill certain obligations related to failure to ensure the proper condition of the vehicle before starting to move.
According to Part 2 of Article 4.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, in case of a continuing offense, the period of time required to make a decision begins to be calculated from the moment the violation is discovered by an authorized official. The detection of a violation is confirmed by the fact that a protocol has been drawn up.
Exceptional cases
- gross violations of public order;
- malicious attacks on public safety and governance.
This type of punishment cannot be applied to pregnant women, women with children under the age of 14, persons under 18 years of age, disabled people of groups I and II, military personnel, conscripts with special ranks of employees of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, internal affairs bodies and the penal system, troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, fire service and customs authorities.
How to restore the deadline for appealing a decision
If the court has decided to impose a fine, and the 10-day period for appeal has been missed, you can send a petition to restore the period for appealing the court decision.
As a rule, this period is restored if the court considers the reasons for not filing a timely complaint against the decision to be valid.
The complaint itself must be considered within 10 days from the date of its filing (if considered by an official) or within 2 months (if considered by a court).
How is it used?
Let's look at a specific example. The driver drove through a prohibiting traffic light on September 14, 2018, and therefore a report was drawn up against him. The decision in the case was made on September 27, 2018, and a fine was imposed. On 10/08/2018, the resolution entered into legal force (it was not appealed), from this day the period for voluntary payment of the fine began to count (60 days). After this period (11/07/2018), the case is transferred to the bailiffs to ensure execution of the resolution.
If within 2 years the violator is not disturbed or reminded of the need to pay the fine imposed in 2018, the resolution will lose its force on 10/09/2020.
Statute of limitations for traffic police fines
2 years from the date of entry into force of the decision imposing a fine - such a period after which the fine will no longer be collected from the violator.
Payment of the fine
If you pay the traffic police fine no later than 20 days from the date of the decision, you can receive a discount of 50% of the original amount.
Effect of the resolution
The validity period of an administrative offense is 1 year, which means that the removal of the status of a “person subject to administrative punishment” occurs one year after the end of execution of the decision imposing the punishment, provided that this person has not committed a new offense.
Video recording camera as evidence of violation
Responsibility for failure to comply with deadlines for repayment of fines
For failure to pay or untimely payment of traffic fines, the driver may be fined twice the amount that he must pay (but not less than 1000 rubles), or he may face arrest for up to 15 days, or compulsory labor for up to 50 hours.
In the video, watch a detailed analysis of the calculation of deadlines for traffic police fines, as well as the features of their payment.

Limitation period for traffic police fines in 2019 | Statute of limitations
Can the statute of limitations on a traffic police fine expire so that it no longer has to be paid?
⚡️The statute of limitations for administrative and criminal cases appeared in the world legal system several thousand years ago and is currently enshrined in most legislation of the countries of the Romano-Germanic legal family.
Checking and paying traffic fines 50% discount
We are checking information about fines,
please wait a few seconds
Despite the ongoing debate among legal scholars, in 2019 a rule related to the de facto nullification of liability for committing certain illegal actions after a long period of time also exists in Russian legislation. The rule is associated with the loss of social significance of certain crimes at a significant temporary distance from the moment of their commission, the inappropriateness of punishment, years separated from the crime, problems with the evidence base in old cases.
Collect traffic police fines in an armful and throw copies of decisions in the trash - what could be simpler? Unfortunately, this method of solving the problem will only delay, and often even worsen, the situation of the motorist.
Among other, often very serious offenses, trivial traffic police fines also fall under the rule regarding the statute of limitations. This issue in the Code of Administrative Offenses is regulated by Article 31.9. The statute of limitations under the ShG is 2 years from the date the resolution enters into legal force.
Article 31.9. Limitation of execution of a resolution on the imposition of an administrative penalty 1. A resolution on the imposition of an administrative penalty is not subject to execution if this resolution was not enforced within two years from the date of its entry into legal force.
We can agree that two years or 24 months is a fairly short period of time in a human life, and a Russian is quite capable of waiting out such a period of time. In ideal conditions for a motorist, this is exactly the case. Moreover, until recently, a significant number of motorists managed to slip through the described window of opportunity and evade the traffic police fines imposed on them, guided by the rule of reaching the statute of limitations .
Today, it is extremely difficult for a motorist from a large city to endure traffic fines until expire . There are the following reasons for this:
- Electronic mobile databases of unpaid traffic police fines from the traffic police;
- Active work of the bailiff service;
- Prohibition on registration of a vehicle with outstanding fines.
Hypothetically, there is, of course, a chance to hold out until the “amnesty” associated with the expiration of the statute of limitations on traffic police fines . But let's look at what the life of a motorist will consist of throughout the entire waiting period.
The first ten days after receiving a traffic police fine are the most rewarding time. This period is left by the legislator for appealing the very fact of committing an offense. During this time, the offender can live a normal life without attracting the attention of government authorities. Then another 60 cloudless days are given to find funds to pay the collection. Clouds will begin to gather over the careless motorist on the 70th day of late payment. During this period, a significant part of the fines goes to bailiffs, but even here the “penalty officer” has the right to count on 10 days of persuasion and requests.
Then the motorist will find himself in a kind of airless space for 22 months. Both traffic police and bailiffs will be interested in his personality at the same time. Any evening check of documents can end in the bullpen, the debtor’s property - his wages and bank accounts, will be levied, virtually without warning, the court can easily deprive the driver-debtor of his rights, limit his right to travel, double the existing debt or sentence him to real correctional work. The full arsenal of means of influencing the “dodger” from fines, available “in the arsenal” of the security services, is so large that just listing them could lead to a separate article.
There is a chance that in the case of a very small traffic police fine of 500-1000 rubles, no one will hunt you. However, there is little point in living in fear for two years because of such a trifling amount. In the case of larger amounts, you are guaranteed to attract the interest of bailiffs and the traffic police. In such cases, it will be extremely difficult to delay until the statute of limitations on traffic police fines expires . And in the cases of such large, advanced regions as Moscow and the Moscow region, St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Tatarstan, it is almost impossible - the work of state control bodies is too clearly structured for these territories.
There are other subtleties, as we have repeatedly mentioned, the traffic police fine after a 70-day delay in payment goes to the FSSP (Federal Bailiff Service). No matter how stupid it may sound, bailiffs are not as friendly to car owners as the traffic police. It is rarely possible to quickly and reliably pay off fines sent to the FSSP. Resolving issues at this stage involves going to banks and working with paper receipts.
By the way, even if the motorist in some extraordinary way still managed to “avoid” the traffic police and the FSSP for two years and reached the expiration of the statute of limitations on fines , he still will not be able to avoid the final bow to government agencies.
The head of the local traffic police, in an amicable way, should receive from a debtor with fines for which the statute of limitations has expired , an application with a request to stop execution of them and remove irrelevant information from the general database.
And finally, on the topic of statute of limitations , we note that avoiding paying a traffic fine , that is, waiting for the expiration of its statute of limitations , is mostly achieved not by drivers who hid well from the bailiffs, but, rather, by motorists whom the bailiffs did not look for well or did not look for at all. . Clauses 2, 3 and 4 of the same article tell us about this 31.9 :
- The statute of limitations for traffic police fines begins to be calculated anew if either a person evading payment of the fine or his property is discovered;
- If the fine was to be paid in installments or deferment, then the statute of limitations is increased by the amount of the latter.
The easiest way to protect your life from unnecessary hassle is still to timely pay the traffic police fine . It is possible to play super-agent with the state, but coming out of this game as a winner is an extraordinary task. As always in our publications, we recommend that drivers check and instantly pay their fines through the online service “Staff Fines”.

Payment of administrative fines in 2019
The amount of fines payable in Russia today is approximately one and a half billion rubles. A huge number of offenses committed and the damage caused by them remain unreimbursed by the state. But compensation for harm is one of the main functions of administrative punishment.

- Fines not regulated by the administrative code
What is an administrative fine?
The Code of Administrative Offenses in Article 3.5 defines a fine as a monetary penalty expressed in rubles. The amount of an administrative fine can reach sixty million rubles, and can also be a multiple of certain amounts.
These amounts include:
-
The value of the subject of the offense. For example, in supermarkets you can often find a notice that if you do not pay for the goods, you will have to pay for it five times.
The amount of unpaid or payable fees. This includes taxes, pension fees, illegal securities transactions, costs of services or banking transactions.
The amount of revenue from the sale of goods, works or services, as well as fuel. Also the amount of costs for the cost price of a defense order.
An amount equal to the maximum or initial cost of the contract for the supply or provision of services and works.
The amount of excess income or loss.
Who won't have to pay the fine?
This penalty does not apply to all citizens.
It is impossible to impose a fine on officers and soldiers on compulsory military service, as well as students and cadets of specialized military educational institutions. For children who have committed an administrative offense under 14 years of age, parents will bear responsibility in the form of an administrative fine. About the amount of the fine:
In paragraph 1 of Art. 3.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses the amount of the fine is discussed in sufficient detail, but it will be quite difficult for a person who does not have a legal education to understand such a definition. So let's generalize. Three categories of violators may be fined. Individuals, officials and legal entities.
Individuals may be held accountable for an amount not exceeding 5,000 rubles. But if the offense concerns a violation of the right to freedom of conscience, a fine can be imposed up to 30,000 rubles.
Legal entities may be fined up to 60 million rubles.
But officials are given fines of up to 50 thousand rubles. The Code of Administrative Offenses provides for fines of up to 800 thousand rubles for officials under certain conditions. What to do after you have been issued a fine?
The law provides for a period for voluntary payment of monetary penalties. And, contrary to general opinion, the fine must be paid no later than 70 days, not 30. Let me explain. The payment period is calculated from the moment the decision on collection in the form of a fine is issued. However, such a decision can be appealed within 10 days, and only then comes into force. From this moment on, those cherished 2 months will count. If the fine is not paid on time, a double fine and arrest for up to 15 days may be imposed.
About discounts and installments
You received a fine, but no money. You can apply to the court for an installment plan or deferred payment. The court will consider it and make a decision based on your financial situation. And then we will talk about discounts, and here you need to be very careful. Article 32.2. The Code of Administrative Offenses provides for the opportunity to pay certain types of fines with a 50% discount within 20 days. These 20 days are calculated from the date of the decision. If you appealed the decision, or asked for a delay or installment plan, the discount cannot be applied. That is, the beginning of the 20-day countdown date will be the date of the decision.
Very often there is confusion with discounts on fines that the traffic police receive in “chain letters”. Even if you received the letter 19 days after the order was issued, the discounted payment period will be 20 days. That means you have 1 day left.
To prevent such situations from happening, there are services where you can check the debt by name or decree number.
And there is a significant difference. If you check fines for yourself, you can do this, for example, on the State Services website. After registration, please provide your passport details, SNILS, driver’s license number and PTS. Then the system will automatically notify you that a decree has been issued in your name, and you will have time to pay it on time. If you are not allowed to go abroad or your credit card is seized, this means that any collection is already overdue and has been sent to the bailiff service.
Bailiffs not only collect a fine, but also charge an enforcement fee for their work. You can check such penalties on the website of the bailiff service. There you can find out the number of the resolution and see why and when you were fined. In any case, it is better to take care of everything in advance and pay your debts on time.
Fines that are not regulated by the administrative code
There are gaps in the legislation regarding determining the amount of the fine, for example, for traveling without a ticket.
We all know that when traveling on any type of transport, if it is not your own car or that of friends, you have to pay for a ticket.
The ticket price consists of certain tariffs. Failure to pay for such travel is an administrative offense and is punishable by a fine. The Code of Administrative Offenses regulates this in Article 11.18.
What does the law tell us? Ticket-free travel on intercity and suburban maritime transport vessels will cost one hundred rubles. The same goes for intercity buses. But on air transport, ticketless travel “costs” two hundred rubles. Carrying children for whom payment is required without a ticket is punishable by half the adult fine. But the article does not say a word about commercial routes, municipal buses and other types of transport that we use every day. Since tariffs and ticket prices are set by a municipality or commercial organization, they independently develop the rules for passenger transportation and regulate liability for ticketless trains.
The fine may vary in different regions. For example, in the Volgograd region you can pay 5,000 rubles for a “hare” ride on a regular municipal bus, and in St. Petersburg from 500 rubles.
If such a passenger is detected, the controller issues a receipt for payment of the fine for ticketless travel. To do this, the authorized person asks for an identification document. Here is an important point. The controller has the authority to issue you a fine. You can refuse to provide him with documents. Then the actions of the conductor will be as follows:
The official will call the police to draw up a report on the administrative offense. It will take a lot of time, stop the movement and leave, to put it mildly, not very pleasant memories. If you really do not have a passport or other identification document with you, you will be taken to a department where your identity will be established.
Commercial carriers do not have the authority to issue a fine. And here they will immediately call the police. The authorities will look at the license confirming the carrier’s right to engage in this type of activity, then they will draw up an administrative protocol for the hare. It is because of these difficulties that commercial carriers have practically abandoned fines for ticketless travel. But statistics show that there are much more free riders on municipal transport, even those equipped with modern control systems, than on commercial routes. The consequences of failure to pay such a fine will be similar to any other. Payment deadlines are the same.
Summarizing all of the above
We are all human, and we all, sometimes, unconsciously break the law. In order to bear minimal responsibility, you need to take care to find out about all your debts and fines. Use services to check fines and debts once every two weeks. This will ensure that you get paid on time and at a discounted rate. You should not deceive the state and try to travel for free or get something for nothing, because the state does not forgive such mistakes and fines them immediately. The Administrative Code protects our daily safety and ensures living comfort. Therefore, it is advisable to comply with the law for the common good and learn to take responsibility for one’s wrongdoings.
