Police Will Be Able to Announce Areas with Mobile Cameras - Bill Passed

The Parliament passed a bill allowing the Police to announce areas where mobile speed cameras will be operating, with the aim of preventing offenses and enhancing transparency. The announcement of the areas will be optional and will refer to general areas, such as avenues and roads, without specifying the exact operating hours. The proposal arose after public reactions regarding the operation of the cameras and the suspicion that they have a revenue-collecting character. MPs stated that the system, as it operates today, creates the impression that it aims to collect fines rather than road safety.
