The Oviedo Civil Guard has denounced 18 people sharing locations and images of mobility controls in WhatsApp groups. On the other hand, in La rioja, the agents have arrested two people who put nails on the road to cause traffic accidents; and in the town of Villanueva del Rio y Minas (Seville), the Civil Guard has arrested two other people for drugging a neighbor to rob him.
WhatsApp groups
The Civil Guard of Oviedo, within the established services that are being carried out to control compliance with the R.D. 463/2020, has proposed to sanction eighteen people who, using mobile applications, hung photographs of controls carried out by agents to alert users of these applications of the place where they were being carried out.
Since last April, Luarca agents investigated the creation in the area of WhatsApp groups that alerted to the position of the controls and verification points established by the Civil Guard to control unjustified movements during the state of alarm and thus avoid the spread of COVID-19.
As a result of the investigations, the agents managed to enter two groups, "GREEN THROUGH THE AREA" with 245 users and "SOCIAL COAÑA" with 253 users, whose purpose was to disseminate the position of the controls and movements of the Civil Guards belonging to the Luarca Company, as well as the patrols of the Traffic Group of the Civil Guard and even the Luarca Local Police.
These almost 500 users can in turn share this information with their friends or in other groups, so the dissemination of the devices made by the Civil Guard is incalculable. In these groups, in addition to sharing the location of the controls that were carried out, they shared license plates of official vehicles and photographs of the start of the Agents' service in the Barracks.
With this type of dissemination groups, damage is carried out that affects us all, since the established controls, in addition to monitoring unjustified movements to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 infections, are carried out to prevent the circulation of drivers in state of intoxication, which can cause serious accidents, to intercept the possible perpetrators of robberies in establishments or second residences, to prevent the traffic of narcotic substances, etc.
So far the Civil Guard has made eighteen proposals for administrative sanction for infringement of article 36.23 of Organic Law 4/2015 on the protection of Citizen Security for the unauthorized use of images of members of the FFCCSS that may endanger the personal security of the agents or at risk the success of an operation, especially being found the State of Alarm. The financial penalty for infringement of this article of L.O 4/2015, can range between € 601 and € 30,000.
