Tougher measures against vandals: The region and Prague want to step on sprayers
The war meeting had already taken place. On Facebook, the Central Bohemian councilor informed that a police director from Prague and the Central Bohemian Region, the director of the Municipal Police of the Capital City of Prague, had invited a meeting with a colleague from the capital, Deputy Mayor for Transport Adam Scheinherr (Prague Sobě). m of Prague and the security director of Czech Railways and the transport company hl. m of Prague – and it was a single topic: how to arrest a tipper.
He did not specify Borecký’s results, but his words indicate that the plan of the offensive is complete. “We will not give up! We want public transport to be clean – and for the perpetrators of this now-organized vandalism to be held accountable for their actions. I believe that this will happen very soon, “he summed up his impressions. He answered the Diary that he was preparing the gradual application of protective coatings, which would contribute to the fact that the efforts of sprayers would be in vain – and that special actions were being prepared, which should hopefully lead to the capture of specific perpetrators and their punishment. It is in connection with it that the participants in the negotiations have so far imposed a beaver of silence.
Fines for railways will not solve anything
Negotiations on spray attacks revealed that although scribble trains had been popular in Central and Prague in the past, the situation was in the Czech Republic within two covid years. Attacks on trains also do not only take the form of paintings, which are usually liked only by the author and his companions, sprayed in the dark on decommissioned trains. Sometimes, after all, it’s not even a matter of “creating” or “signing” something on the train, but the goal is clear: just to damage and destroy; nothing more. Such vandals don’t even spray. They throw bags of paint at a moving train in places where they have to slow down or in corners.
“Vandal parties are becoming more organized – one part of the gang shuts down the cameras, another smashes the train, cuts the seats and disappears. It doesn’t take more than two minutes, “Borecký explained further findings. With the fact that an even more dangerous phenomenon has recently begun to appear: spraying and scratching the driver’s cab windows. Or even directly damaging the track safety devices!

In the agreement with Czech Railways on the provision of transport services, the Central Bohemian Region has stipulated sanctions for carriers, which determine penalties for dirty or scratched trains. It is said that the regional authority also imposes fines on a regular basis. However, the governor’s office says it will not solve this problem. Especially when there is no exception that a fresh cleaned train leaves the depot – and other groups of sprayers are already on their track to catch their “catch”.
‼ ️ We will not come to terms with vandalism ️ ️ he says @BoreckPetr and continues.
We have just negotiated with all the components that can intervene in this case and the result is already on the table. We want clean means of transport!

Councilor Borecký also reminds that anyone who sees the vandalism and does not remain indifferent can contribute to improving the situation. “You don’t have to wash or cross-spray right away. But call 158 if something like this happens, “he turns to any witnesses. “Just like when you express a lot of your opinion so that the troglodytes understand that there is no place for rampage in this society,” he added, that it is also important not to remain silent. The term troglodyte is usually used today in the sense of “primitive, uneducated.”
