How quickly fines are received from cameras recording violations

For several years now, traffic control on the road has been carried out not only by traffic police inspectors, but also by a whole network of stationary and mobile video recording cameras. Video cameras automatically detect traffic violations, identify the license plates of violating vehicles, take pictures of the moment of the violation and transmit the data to the nearest stationary traffic police posts or to the traffic police administrative offense control center (TSAFAP). After processing the data, operators formulate a resolution and send “chain letters” to drivers demanding payment of the fine.

How long does it take between video recording of a traffic violation and receiving a notification of a fine? How effective is this method of dealing with violators?

How is video recording of violations carried out?

On straight sections of the roadway with an increased risk of accidents, the most frequent cases of drivers exceeding the speed limit, etc. cameras are installed. The devices are used to record unlawful actions of drivers without the participation of traffic police officers.

Advantages of registrars:

• recording all cases of non-compliance with traffic rules;
• exclusion of acts of corruption.

Devices are placed on the roadway so that they can be seen by motorists. A “Video recording” sign is attached nearby.

Recorders record the following traffic violations:

• parking rules;
• order of driving on the side of the road;
• intersections of solid lines, intersections with traffic lights;
• improper overtaking;
• driving into the lane of oncoming traffic;
• speeding on the roadway – error of readings 2 km.

Unlawful actions of motorists are recorded by photographing and recording on video. The camera records not only the moment of the violation, but also the state license plate of the car. Information about the committed act is sent to the relevant Center. Here the owner of the car is found using the license plate number. They issue a penalty and notify the citizen about it.

Video and photo recording of offenses

Today on the roads you can find a huge number of systems aimed at identifying offenses. Some of them work manually, and some automatically. It is important to note that the law establishes a limitation according to which the sanction for an offense recorded on camera can be expressed exclusively in the form of a fine, even if in other situations the driver may be limited in the right to drive a vehicle. The most common fine from cameras is for speeding.

According to the traffic rules, the location where violations are recorded may be indicated with a special sign, but this is not a mandatory requirement, but is only intended to increase the driver’s attention. Therefore, recording an offense in an area without a sign is completely legal.

IMPORTANT !!! However, in some situations, inspectors violate basic requirements and perform recordings in unacceptable conditions (for example, from a vehicle, with incorrect settings). Such violations of recording rules do not affect fixed video surveillance systems.

How long does it take to process information and how long does it take to receive a fine?

Registrars record a large number of violations every day. Information about drivers' non-compliance with traffic rules is transmitted to the traffic police. Here they are processed, after which a decision is made to impose a penalty.

The time limits for consideration of cases of administrative offense are specified in Article 29.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In paragraph 1, which was amended by Federal Laws No. 69-FZ of April 30, 2010, No. 307-FZ of October 14, 2014, it is stated that the analysis of information received from technical means that have photo and video recording options, operating in automatic mode, occurs within 15 days.

Algorithm of traffic police officers:

1. Studying information.
2. Search for car owner by state license plate.
3. Drawing up a protocol on the offense committed.
4. Entering information about non-compliance with traffic rules into the database.
5. Formation of a decree on collection.

After this, the driver is notified of the sanctions through Russian Post.

What to do if the fine is not in the traffic police database?

If the fine does not appear in the traffic police database, but a resolution to collect it has arrived, you need to figure it out.

One of the reasons may be the duration of data transfer. This system is multi-stage and includes the transfer of information from territorial traffic police departments to federal ones, and then to the Treasury. In this case, you need to wait until the collection measures are reflected in a single repository.

Attention

If the car owner has the decree in hand, you can fill out the receipt yourself and make the payment. Payment details should be taken from the resolution. The absence of a fine in the traffic police database is not grounds for non-payment. Since the system is not perfect, technical failures may occur.

You can also solve the problem by calling your local inspection office and asking for the information you need.

What is the average period between a violation and the arrival of a fine?

Information about the driver’s non-compliance with traffic rules from the recorders is instantly transmitted to the Processing Center. Here the data is processed within 15 days. Based on the information, a resolution is formed. The operator is obliged to send it to the driver within 3 days.

Thus, the total time to receive a notice of collection after the commission of an offense is 18-20 days. The driver has to wait that long for a decision. From this moment on, he is given 1.5 weeks to appeal the decision, 2 months to pay the fine.

It happens that a citizen receives information about sanctions later than 3 days after the decision is issued. This situation arises if a letter with documents is sent by mail. Delivery of correspondence takes up to 3 weeks.

This leads to the following consequences:

• The violator cannot pay the fine with a 50% discount. The amount of the penalty is reduced if the money is transferred to the recipient within 20 days after the decision is made. When the notification arrives late, the citizen is deprived of this opportunity.
• The period for appealing the decision has expired. If this happens, you will have to file a petition to extend the statute of limitations.

To avoid such a situation, you should monitor the imposed penalties.

How to find out about recorded offenses

Motorists can obtain information regarding amounts accrued for payment using the following methods:

1. By sending a letter to the specified email number.
2. Receiving a registered letter to the citizen’s registration address.
3. Via a message from the online banking system. For example, it works when connecting a similar option from Sberbank.
4. By independently checking on official sources. For example, you can view fines through Gosuslugi or the traffic police portal.

It's educational. Often, due to the lack of information regarding the need to pay penalties, violators learn that they have unpaid orders from bailiffs.

How soon can I find out about the decision?

Motorists often find themselves in situations where a violation has occurred, but there is no information as to whether it was recorded and whether amounts were assessed. In this regard, there is a need to independently contact official sources in order to find out whether information on the resolution is present in the general database or not. At the same time, an important point is the question of how long it takes for the fine to be received by State Services. The answer to such a question allows you to turn to certain sources over a designated period of time. In such a situation, the driver will receive accurate information that will contain up-to-date data on collections.
