Latvian police have called it an unacceptable practice to place stickers on cars with “potentially provocative inscriptions in Russian,” such as “I am Russian/Russian.”

Latvian law enforcement agencies reported this on Twitter.
As the department noted, we are talking about inscriptions on cars like “I am Russian” or “I am Russian,” which can be perceived as support for the military aggression of the terrorist country Russia in Ukraine. If the police see such inscriptions, they will order them to be removed immediately, and also explain the purpose and motivation for placing the sticker. In addition, the driver can be fined for promoting military aggression.
Latvia provides for criminal liability for justifying and glorifying war crimes of the Russian armed forces on the territory of Ukraine.
Let us remind you that Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia announced on September 13 that, after clarifications from the European Commission regarding sanctions, they would no longer allow cars with Russian license plates into their territory.
