It has a comical incident in the center emergency service 112, after a man called to report a theft, but ended up being fined by the authorities who investigated the incident. A man called the 112 emergency service to report that the sum of 150 LEI had been stolen from him by a man who was transporting him "on occasion" between two localities, and of course the police were sent to investigate this case .
The police identified the man who was illegally transporting people, but discovered that those 150 LEI were actually on the back seat of the car, falling out of the complainant's pocket. Of course, for reporting a false event to the 112 emergency service, the man was fined 1000 LEI, the maximum in these situations, but an important legislative change will change that too.
A man who reported a THEFT to 112, was finally fined
The problem does not end here, because the man who carried out the illegal transport of people was left without a driver's license, but also without the car's registration card, the plates being confiscated by the police. Of course, he also received a fine for illegally transporting people, and such an unnecessary call to 112 left two people without significant amounts of money, and one without the possibility of using his car.
112 is abused daily by Romanians, with extremely many false calls made by people who are not afraid of the repercussions of their actions, because in general they don't really exist. As a solution to this problem, the authorities want to impose the obligation to buy prepaid cards only with the bulletin, which would allow easier identification of the people who initiate such types of calls.
112 has been heavily criticized in recent weeks following the tragedy in Caracal, but the authorities still do not seem to understand very clearly how to solve its problems.
