Full equality: when the traffic police cameras fine pedestrians
The motorist will not go unpunished in the modern world: what the traffic policeman does not see, the camera captures. The pedestrian is “always right”, as nowadays in Russia there is no strict control of compliance with the Rules by “horseless” road users. But it looks like this free one is coming to an end soon. And in more detail – in the material of the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.

In theory, the driver and the pedestrian are equal road users, equally obliged to comply with the traffic rules. But in practice, “horseless” are rarely fined and therefore they don’t really follow the letter of the law. Because of this disparity, some turned out to be higher than others than they regularly use: a person walking slowly across a crosswalk, carried away by a mobile phone, makes a whole crowd of motorists nervous and waiting. He deserves a period.

In the event of a collision, the helmsman is a priori to blame – he controls the means of increased danger, and the pedestrian is literally “naked” in the face of impending fate. Because of this, apparently, there are regular races on the Moscow ring road – 5 lanes in each direction – and “crossed” highway crossings, where the speed limit of a car reaches 110 km / h, and the “zebra” is located directly above the place of the walk.

And on the other hand, well, who runs after a pedestrian to fine him for crossing the roadway the wrong way, like Sharik with pictures through the woods? None – with the rarest, we repeat, exception. Yes, cameras can already capture such violations – a pilot project has even started in the Moscow region – but there is no legal justification for introducing this practice.

Everything is simple with cars: the license plate allows you to accurately determine the owner of the car and write out a decision. A pedestrian, on the other hand, does not have a number on his forehead, so biometrics are not biometrics, but an instruction passed to an employee who in turn is looking for an intruder is necessary. The police officer is obliged to check a citizen’s passport to confirm his identity, and only then issue a fine. And this is the only reason why pedestrians break traffic rules with impunity. But as you know, nothing lasts forever.

Thus, the time of these lovemaking is counted: the identification system already works in the subway, which allows you to determine the person very accurately. By the way, many wanted criminals were discovered and detained thanks to her. However, there is still one person involved: a law enforcement officer has to stop and ask for documents. And once the all-Russian bureaucracy, having found a solution, speeds up the process – relying on biometrics – pedestrians will immediately be on the same level as drivers.

Moreover, in this direction Russia has taken the Asian, more rigid path, in which the ends dominate the means. There are currently no official procedures for the “legalization” of biometrics for identity verification. But practice suggests that as soon as the cameras are able to fully identify and distinguish people (an analogue of the automotive “Web” – “Sphere” – is already “walking in” and filled with data training artificial intelligence), the process will go faster . After all, technically there is a possibility to fine pedestrians – the only question is the legal justification.
