It was 3:45am and the police told me that I would be punished for excessive noise and I gave them my ID card but they didn`t leave me a certificate, I was quite surprised because this is usually not the case. I just received the fine at my home, the address of the penalty is wrong, it does not match my address, the number is wrong, the day they did not leave me a complaint form, which is very rare, and they did not perform the appropriate decibel test, which theoretically serves to prove that it exceeds the legal limit.

I do not know if I will be able to deal with it, or if I will not have another one and I will not rely on a court-appointed lawyer.
