The court partially dismissed the defendant's appeal against a traffic fine, ordering the revocation of the monetary penalty and its replacement with a warning. The defendant argued the fine was excessive for the minor violation, while the police contended the statutory minimum was appropriate. The court ruled that the circumstances warranted a lighter sanction, thereby reducing the punishment to a warning.
