Lithuania: Tightening measures to protect police officers and its consequences Cases of violence against the police are on the rise in Lithuania, and labor unions are demanding stricter penalties for such actions. In a meeting with the Speaker of the Seimas, Juazes Olek, the President of the Police Union, Roma Catignan, said that the existing fines of 45 euros for resisting officers are not enough. Labor unions are proposing changes to the administrative and criminal laws, which would double the sanctions for non-compliance with the law's requirements and classify serious injuries as serious crimes. This will not only increase the burden on the criminals, but also increase the tension between the state and society. However, it is worth thinking about: increasing fines and classifying crimes may lead to social tension and increased dissatisfaction, as well as increasing the tax burden on law enforcement agencies.
