The Salerno State Police are carrying out strict controls in public places , with particular attention to the serving of alcoholic beverages.
During the checks, several irregularities emerged: in some commercial establishments, failure to comply with the requirements set out in the licenses was ascertained and, in one case, the serving of alcohol to minors under 16 years of age.
For this latest violation, the Police Chief ordered the temporary closure for 15 days of a bar in the city center. The owners of the premises involved were fined and reported.
The Police Chief of Salerno invites citizens, and especially parents, to report similar incidents even anonymously through the YOUPOL app, useful for countering phenomena that generate social alarm.
It is important that the police check the premises, but sometimes I wonder if the fines are really effective. Parents should check their children, but bars also have to be careful. There are too many mistakes.
I don't understand how it is possible that minors can drink alcohol so easily. There should be more controls and also more information to avoid future problems.
