Surely many motorists have come across a situation when a “letter of congratulations” or a notice of a fine from the traffic police appeared on the website of public services many days after a traffic violation. Is this practice legal?
It happens that the driver has long forgotten that he has done something wrong somewhere on the part of the road that is monitored by the police camera. And he decided that his sin had gone unnoticed through her lens. But then bang: get a resolution number so and so, issued by an inspector so and so, the amount of the fine to be paid is so and so … Not only unpleasant, but somewhere even outrageous! Indeed, according to the law, the offender has only 10 days to appeal against the unfair sentence, and here it turns out that the decision came to him when this period expired and all that remains is to “pay the bill”. Or go to court with your disagreement about the sentence. There you can restore the appeal period and try to fight the fine.
But before you hit the fever, you need to remember something administrative and procedural. Let’s say you got into the lens of the traffic police camera, with speeding. Do you think you will be fined immediately? Absolutely not necessary! Within seconds, a file with data about the offense is generated only in the “brain” of the police cell. The speed of the car, the photo, the time of the violation and the coordinates of the place of fixation are recorded. Furthermore, this electronic document will be sent to be stored on a server of the local center for the processing of data on administrative offenses.
From where it is unpacked after some time and sent in visualized form to the monitor of the office computer of a traffic police inspector, authorized to “stamp” fines as if on a conveyor belt. Everything is simple. But the subtlety here is that a lot of time can elapse between the appearance of our file in the system and the moment when this material is considered by a traffic police officer. Article 29.6. The Code of Administrative Offenses assigns a competent person (an inspector of the traffic police in our case) to assess a case of an administrative violation not less than 15 days!
That is, if you see that your decision was drawn up two weeks after the traffic violation, do not be indignant – everything is in accordance with the law. In addition, you will have 10 days to object to this document from the time the “chain letter” was created, not the violation itself. Another thing is that due to possible malfunctions in the system, you will not be able to see the decision until a few days after it is issued by an employee of the automatic confirmation center. It makes sense to be outraged only on this occasion, since in this way, due to malfunctions in state computer systems, the actual time limit for appeal against the decision is unlawfully shortened.
