This week, the Seimas permitted the corresponding modification to the Highway Transport Code following submission. 40 voted for it, two have been in opposition to, and 26 Seimas members abstained.
Additional, the challenge can be thought of by the committees of the Seimas, it ought to return to the assembly corridor solely within the autumn session.
On the suggestion of Gintautas Paluckos, a member of the Social Democratic Occasion faction of the Seimas, it’s desired to determine an obligation for passengers to put in video recorders or sound recording gear within the automobile cabin.
Throughout the whole journey, it might be essential to seize the picture or sound within the automobile cabin.
In instances the place the passenger wouldn’t like such recording, he ought to categorical this may clearly.
“Undoubtedly, these recordings can solely be made on the request and consent of the consumer. If somebody desires privateness and does not need that additional layer of safety, they will decide out. That is why the choice (picture or sound – BNS) was left,” G. Paluckas stated.
In keeping with him, market contributors are already able to introduce audio recording and storage.
“(…) that is in the end related for them, their carriers, as a result of there are sometimes conflicts on either side, not solely the provider is mechanically responsible of one thing,” asserted the member of the Seimas.
Recordings of the video or audio recorder ought to be stored for 14 days, and if the passenger or the competent authority requests the recording, it ought to be offered.
“Working enterprise can now be carried out by virtually anybody who desires to. Operators of platform work have established themselves within the passenger transport market. Tales regarding incidents, conflicts between passengers and drivers, and instances of sexual harassment are rising in public. It’s virtually unattainable for the passenger to document and show that the driving force behaved inappropriately or aggressively,” stated G. Paluckas.
In keeping with him, passenger transport operators are sluggish to answer such complaints, demanding to offer indeniable proof that the driving force behaved inappropriately.
“Furthermore, we hear that carriers switch their accounts on digital platforms to different individuals, and in such a case it’s troublesome to show that the legislation has been violated,” stated a member of the Seimas.
Justice Minister Ewelina Dobrowolska questioned the proportionality of such a measure. She additionally requested what would occur if two or extra passengers touring collectively disagreed regarding recording.
“As we communicate, if there are remoted incidents, if there are violations of the legislation, nothing prevents that individual from recording and utilizing that materials, particularly whether it is violations of the legislation. We’re considering very far out of proportion once we say that the gathering and storage of knowledge is a safety measure. That is large-scale info that impacts private knowledge, I believe that the proposed measure is sort of disproportionate,” stated the minister.
It’s proposed that the aforementioned provisions enter into power from 2025.
