The cameras should first undergo a metrological control radars as they do
City (MC), Motion will ask at the next full council that the application of the penalty filed using cameras installed in different streets of the city of Cartagena is paralyzed, and which is intended to prevent drivers jump red lights, since they are not subject to approval or have regulation of industry, as have warned through the media, among others, the European Automobile Association (AEA), this fact being confirmed by several court rulings.
This proposal will MC through a motion to suspend the fines remain until the control system standards are set and the current situation of lawlessness is resolved, is motivated because cameras should first undergo a metrological control as do radars.
For José López, mayor of MC, "the city of Cartagena should join what has already made the consistory of St. Sebastian and stop fining citizens who have allegedly jumped a red light, until the system is approved" .
According to Lopez, "to put a ticket in this case, the police checked frames, not the fact itself at street level, so it is particularly important with the approval of the cameras, and also should dispel doubts about the possible manipulation image processing. "
However, the head of the court of the Contentious-administrative number 5 of Madrid has pointed the cameras 'lack sufficient guarantee of truth', so with all these precedents seems logical to immediately suspend the processing of fines.
BULLETS AND WORRY recaudatorio
Lopez added that "the measure proposed MC is temporary, and we believe that should be adopted to unify criteria, because otherwise we would be talking about simple tax collection effort by the City, especially when these cameras should be installed only on the black spots and not just those that have fiber optic prevail because then other interests different from those of security.
