Lines with cerol cut transmission cables, leaving residents without internet signal in the region. "The population needs to be aware of this. The use and sale of cerol or the Chilean line are strictly prohibited by law. Parents also have a legal responsibility, provided for in the Child and Adolescent Statute (Eca), not to subject their children or third parties to dangerous situations", reinforced the spokesperson. The Military Police appeals to motorcyclists to install the kite-cutting antenna on the vehicle's handlebars. The equipment helps to bounce or cut the wire before it reaches the driver's neck.
