On January 19, 2024, Thanh Nien Newspaper reporters recorded at 4 traffic police parking lots for vehicles violating traffic laws in District 7, Binh Tan District and Thu Duc City (HCMC). In addition to the crowded situation, thousands of vehicles are at risk of becoming scrap after a long time of exposure to rain and sun, the risk of fire and explosion at these parking lots is also a potential danger.
Crowded parking lots for illegal vehicles: Overloaded and wasteful
The vehicle impound lot at the intersection of Ho Van Long - Vo Tran Chi of Binh Tan District Police is quite "magnificent" but in reality most of it is old and rusty.
Inside the 3,000 square meter parking lot on Nguyen Van Quy Street (District 7) are many vehicles piled up, without a roof, and overgrown with weeds.
Violators abandon vehicles
The Traffic Police Department (PC08) of Ho Chi Minh City Police said that in addition to the fact that violators of alcohol concentration levels abandon their vehicles, the number of "broken-down" vehicles and three-wheeled vehicles seized during the campaigns were also "forgotten" by violators. This is also the main reason why the warehouses temporarily holding violators are overloaded.
According to PC08, this unit has tried to arrange the means and evidence of administrative violations in warehouses and yards. However, the current warehouse area does not meet the demand for receiving evidence and means of violations.
Irony of fines for old cars: No papers, no mirrors and no car needed
The liquidation and processing process is lengthy.
Ho Chi Minh City Police acknowledged that the process of carrying out auction procedures for seized and confiscated vehicles is related to citizens' ownership rights according to the provisions of the Constitution.
Therefore, regulations on procedures and order of confiscation, handling and auction of seized exhibits and vehicles are very strict and time-consuming.
Specifically, to confiscate and auction seized exhibits and vehicles, many steps must be taken according to the provisions of law, such as: organizing verification and appraisal of vehicle chassis numbers and engine numbers; publishing in newspapers to find the owner; developing a plan to handle seized exhibits and vehicles and reporting to the Ministry of Public Security (through the Department of Professional Affairs for approval).
After that, Ho Chi Minh City Police issued a decision approving the auction plan and organized the steps to auction the property according to regulations.
From the story of 'innocently' livestreaming the sale of 7,000 motorbikes: How did the police liquidate the evidence?
A traffic police officer in Ho Chi Minh City said that currently the procedure to liquidate vehicles abandoned by violators always goes through many procedures and takes a lot of time.
For a confiscated vehicle, the process of liquidating the vehicle from the time the violator abandons the vehicle must comply with the 12-month statute of limitations for handling administrative violations. In addition, it must go through the steps of verification, notification, confiscation, valuation, and auction, which takes about 2 years. In addition, there is no regulation on collecting fees for temporarily impounded vehicles, so there is no source of funding for reinvestment, renovation, and repair of warehouses.
This situation causes difficulties in the management, operation and repair of illegal parking lots to ensure safety, especially fire prevention.
