What to do if you find a notice from the Municipal Police of Říčany behind the wiper?
- When and where should the driver report?
The VOPP will tell you what offence you have committed and you will be asked to report within 5 days to the address of the Říčany Municipal Police listed on the VOPP. A very important piece of information is where and when the driver is obliged to report. In Říčany it is at:
Municipal Police of Říčany, Komenského náměstí 1619/3, Říčany.
The deadline is within 5 days of the offence. If you are unable to attend for serious reasons, you can arrange an alternative date using the telephone contacts provided:
- What does the driver need to take with him to the municipal police station?
To discuss the VOPP, the driver needs to bring with him/her: an ID and driving licence, a vehicle registration certificate or other documents to clarify the offence and the part of the VOPP that the officer left on the vehicle. If the ticket – part of the VOPP – is damaged or you have lost it, nothing happens, a second part of the VOPP can be found at the duty station, which the officer hands over for registration, on the basis of which the incident is resolved.
- How can the offence be resolved?
The offence can be resolved on the spot by agreement, in the injunction procedure by imposing a fine of up to CZK 2,000, or by reporting the offence to the competent authority whose jurisdiction includes the hearing, if there is a reason to do so – for example, you do not agree with the offence.
