With empty coffers, we must have ideas. Inspired by the delegation to the private sector of its tasks as managing highways or the many headlands in France, the state plans “to outsource the management of cars equipped with onboard radar”, ie 319 unmarked vehicles already capable service, we-we are assured, identify vehicle speeds in excess as those that come their way. And this, we are told, whatever the nature of the track, the six-lane highway to the local road through the village street.
A formidable equipment sold price gold (more than 30 000 euros without the car) which, however, must prove his accuracy in the absence of infallibility to the weights and measures Service responsible for approve. Conventional cameras are thus already assigned a weighting historically obtained by lawyers defending users reluctant to leave rolled. So it is always a retention rate that establishes the speed limit, less compared to the measured speed.
Cars and invisible drones
the new radar invisible, taking into effect of the measures, while the vehicle embarks rolls himself and the angles of the measure referred to constantly vary depending on road conditions and the respective trajectories of the measuring vehicle the measured vehicle, there are there already material to a beautiful panel discussion. This does not prevent the State to deploy this new generation of invisible radar that will not only cars like technical support, but will also, says the Delegate for Road Safety, Emmanuel Barbe, aboard drones. War is declared the motorist with some specious arguments, one of which is perfectly acceptable in these troubled times: agents initially assigned to these missions will be reallocated to other, that are expected to be more “sensitive.”
Today, the rate of daily use of these invisible airborne radars is currently 1 hour. That was enough to show their terrible performance efficiency defect that has not, to our knowledge, been contested. Of the 13 million PV, which have been prepared in 2015, more than 1.5 million have been from the onboard radar even more invisible than the flash noting “the offense” is also undetectable, because infrared. However, to the trained eye of a user than a slug car, holding police or gendarme board could warn of the danger. It will no longer be anything, from 1 January 2017, since the delegation to the private sector replace officials by individuals in civilian clothes.
Contrary to the spirit of the law
Besides that delegate their police power, which raises a fundamental point of law, the yield should be rapidly multiplied by five or six, because the brigades of a new kind will roll much more than the current. Officials were indeed quickly tired kilometers and parsimonious allocations from the state fuel left quite often in dry dock radar cars.
With the new system, everything will change. “The radars can not be managed by private companies whose objective is profit taking and that will flash at all is” offended Pierre Chasseray, general delegate of the association 40 million motorists. A fake trial, Emmanuel Barbe retorted that ensures: “The remuneration of these accredited providers do not depend on the number of fines. This is the car itself and that today will proceed as automatic speed control, and analysis of the flash will continue to be performed by a police officer based in Rennes, automated processing center offenses. “
Maybe, but again, this is not a police officer or police will note that offense and that normally should be the same to establish the identity of the offender. Or, to loosen the findings of infringements and to introduce a performance logic, these two essential points were distinguished, which is contrary to the spirit of the law. So we continued in the same fashion by deploying a ruthless repressive tool on the grounds that the death toll rises in two years.
Users protesting
Blame it on the speed? Not so, retorts Christiane Bayard, the drivers Defence League. “It was found that the decline in road deaths was even greater before radar, 346 deaths per year less on average from 1991 to 2003, after which it has spared as 222 deaths per year 2003 to 2015. “Outraged by the systematic repression and deployment means that we would like to see allocated to other priorities, she launched an Internet petition before the elections, influence members whose users depend. Without it, she predicts an explosion of PV as there was an increase in tolls and yield headland tenfold after the call to private companies
She thinks she why a strong argument. “Our latest survey shows that 42% of drivers, the position of candidates on the radar and repression influences their vote in an election (presidential, legislative)! “And another survey conducted by the association 40 million motorists will only reinforce the 83% of French see a dim view of the prospect of privatization invisible radars. 76% believe that it “will aim to increase the amount of fines collected by the State” and 86% fear that the companies will carry out checks in places where they are most likely to record violations. The prediction of Emmanuel Barbe resonates as suddenly the tocsin: “Anywhere, anytime, motorists should know that they will have to flash.”
