Not violated? Prove it!

In Moscow and the Moscow region there are more cameras, record violations on the road. System of a dispassionate rendering notification of penalty contributes to the fight against corruption. But its main negative - penalty imposed on the owner of the car, not the driver. Head of the Traffic Police Department of Internal Affairs of the Moscow Oblast Sergei Alexeyev said that Moscow installed 35 new fotovideokompleksov "Arrow". They are placed on roads in places where often violate traffic rules and place of the accident. Over 500 meters of the device intersect speed and reads the numbers of all cars in a passing stream width to four lanes. In the center videofiksatsii come pictures and videos of violations detected automatically. But notice the fine issued by the Designated police officers, who check whether it is true Telling the license plate and whether the machine is clearly visible in the picture. Materials must be suitable for consideration by the court. I wonder if they have a list of untouchable numbers? Last year's boom in the mesh for the numbers subsided after having been refuted a rumor that they protect the rooms from reading the camera. Will not help and change the location of license plate on the car - the system will find it and the side (Evo-style), and top (on the jeep) and even in transit on the windshield. Turned out to be useless and invisible fluorescent paint, which masks the number only on the infra-red light streams. Preventive effect of cameras on the roads there - in the areas of tracking drivers to slow speed. Drivers will learn about their whereabouts from the Internet and from friends. But gradually the number of such dispassionate observers will be increased. The objective will be achieved - the number of accidents will decrease. But there is good cause this side effect: receipt for payment of the fine will be sent car owner, not the one who sat behind the wheel. Incidentally, the video complex can also help track movement of vehicles in the district. This may facilitate the search for stolen cars. Now violators mostly expelled one photograph, which depicts a section of road where the violation occurred, and the car itself with clearly visible numbers. If the car owner doubted that this was his car, or do not understand exactly where the photo was taken, he may appeal to the videofiksatsii Center, where he was granted a full evidentiary base. Soon all the chain letters will venerate four photographs, including sightseeing. The big flaw of this system is that the decision is sent to the motorist, and could disrupt other people. In our country the presumption of innocence is quite categorical: often accused all the forces trying to prove his innocence, and not vice versa. Said guilty, so guilty! Not satisfied - Give this a criminal on a platter. So here is the same system: it's a receipt - pay, do not agree - now hand over the offender. In our country often sell cars by proxy. And it is common practice, when relatives or close friends go on a single machine. If the second case, you can still pay the fine from the family budget, in the first pay for a stranger nobody wants. As advised Chief UGIBDD suburbs Sergei Alexeyev, enough to communicate with the management of the region where the violation was recorded, and ask to terminate the administrative proceedings against the motorist and provide contacts who at that time was at the wheel. Evidence may serve, for example, a copy of the contract of sale or lease a car. The petition can be sent by mail or in person, and in the Moscow region, even by the official website of the traffic police in the section for the citizens' appeals. Abroad, the legal system are more loyal to the motorists. And the camera better, since videofiksatsiya practiced there for many years. In some countries, such as passengers face smeared in order not to let God do not violate someone's right to privacy. Somewhere not too lazy to determine each offender in the photo. So, one quick-witted motorist grossly violated the expressway will decide, sitting behind the wheel in a mask! Police even considered it a personal page on the Internet, from which it is clear that this is his car. But in an application for a driver, not a giraffe, a law banning travel to the mask behind the wheel, no. But Russia has still not fully cope with tinted windshields, so we up to this level so far away. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
