This new system also has flaws: unrecognized disabled card, unregistered residential subscription, or even change of registration document. Some legal motorists still receive fines. In total, last year, out of 15,841 contested tickets, 74% were canceled by the town hall, and the contestation procedure is often perilous. “You have to have the right proof, you have to do it within the right time frame, all of that is very cumbersome. It’s complicated to win your case when you can have good reasons to contest your fine”takes offense Jean-Christian Meslet, director of the association for the defense of drivers “Automobile club du midi”.
The town hall assures that reports sent in error are increasingly rare. “We may have experienced some problems when starting these cars, with camera optics which misread the license plates and which put a fine in error. (…) These are things that we are constantly improving” , argues Émilion Esnault, deputy at the town hall, in charge of security. In the city, since the arrival of cars with on-board cameras, the number of parking tickets has increased by 50%.
