The police received the permission to check cars with foreign license plates

From now on, the police has the access to the Inspector-2006 customs database, which records all the cars crossing the border.

All information on violators of the terms of stay in Ukraine police is entered into the "Rubizh" system, the website of the informational and analytical group AvtoConsulting informed.

The system automatically reads the license plate of the passing car and reports if it is in the wanted list.

Then, the police officers have legitimate reasons to stop the car and punish the driver.
