The bill on the legalization of mobile applications for personal smartphones that record data on traffic violations and transmit them to the police was submitted by the government to the State Duma back in 2017. A few years later, in 2019, it was even adopted at first reading. Then they forgot for a while, and now they remembered: the consideration of amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses, which entailed legalizing the “screaming” of citizens against each other, was postponed indefinitely.
The bill, in fact, legalized the federal mobile application, similar in functionality to the assistant of the capital in Moscow. Unofficially, the global “assistant” was called the “People’s Inspector”. It was believed that anyone could install it on their gadgets and solve various traffic violations. And on the basis of this photo and video recording material, the traffic police will issue fines. But apparently there were more questions about this idea than the expected benefits of implementing it.
– There are still unresolved questions about the procedure for capturing, processing and transmitting information, which in practice can lead to the emergence of disputes and violation of citizens’ procedural rights. Further work on the bill does not seem relevant, – says the conclusion on the refusal to consider the bill.
Probably, we are talking about claims similar to those made by lawyers against the “Moscow assistant”. The main one is that the camera works without human intervention when automatically recording violations. And in the case of “Moscow Assistant”, the recording takes place (or does not take place) exclusively at the behest of the “arbitrary” owner of the smartphone. In addition, the objectivity and accuracy of the work is not confirmed by regular verifications, as required by the procedure for operating all means of automatic resolution of traffic violations.
