Police will withdraw thousands of fines that were unpaid before the rulingThe court overturned a man's fine because the red light camera that captured his vehicle had not been tested properly.found David Woolmer's fine and conviction were invalid because police had not tested the cameraAs a result, SA Police announced the suspension of more than 3,800 fines for disobeying red lights, unpaid as of the date of the judgement.
This morning police announced all of those suspended fines, plus those that would have been issued over the six subsequent days, would be withdrawn.forced police to begin temporarily closing South Australia's 134 red light camera sites once a monthAll South Australian intersections with red light cameras are having to be closed for testing every 28 days to comply with the court judgement.
Expiation notices for offences detected since October 8, at the intersections tested in accordance with the court ruling, are now being issued. "SAPOL have been testing red light cameras by driving a police vehicle through a red light in controlled conditions," a police spokesperson said in a statement."People receiving an expiation notice for disobeying a red light with an offence date on or since 8 October 2020 should take action in accordance with the instructions on the rear of the notice."
Pardon? Don't you mean SA gov't withdraws thousands of red light camera fines? How do you make a gov't decision the 'dodge' of the drivers?
Refunds should be issued to the diligent people that have paid over that period
But do they test each of the 134 red light cameras once a month ? Unlikely
What about all those paid over the last couple of years
It isn't a 'dodge' if fines were illegally imposed, please fix your headline
