Do speed cameras have to be visible? Lawyers on when you can challenge the fine
- In 2024, Hawaii extended its use of traffic cameras at 10 Honolulu intersections to include monitoring vehicle speeds in addition to detecting red-light violations, with cameras measuring speeds as vehicles cross the stop lines.
- This followed concerns about widespread traffic violations and speeding that contributed to nearly half of Hawaii's motor vehicle fatalities, prompting law enforcement warnings since March and tickets starting in October.
- Meanwhile, in the UK, increasing use of illegal 'ghost number plates' and cloning via non-compliant materials marketed as evading cameras has alarmed regulators and experts like Nick Freeman and the British Number Plate Manufacturers Association.
- Professor Fraser Sampson described these tactics as "staggeringly simple," while legal professionals warned that disguising number plates could lead to serious criminal charges, including offences that carry potential imprisonment for obstructing justice.
- Authorities including the DVLA and BNMA are pushing for stricter regulations and enforcement to ensure number plates comply with the 2001 registration display laws and to deter illegal suppliers undermining road safety laws.
