The A3 traffic enforcement cameras used by the Israel Police are not reliable, and the experiments carried out to test this by the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, were flawed, University of Haifa expert Sharon Farber said at a court case in Ashdod. This triggered the police to call for their own expert to testify.
Faulty cameras determine the law of the road
In the past, a senior official of the manufacturer of the A3 system testified that the Israel Police does not use the system according to the manufacturer’s instructions, which can affect its accuracy. Additionally, a test carried out by the Technion showed that police speed cameras are only accurate when the vehicle that they test is moving at a constant speed.
Despite countless court trials, cameras determined ‘reliable’
Further, lawyer Tomer Gonen told Walla, “We have claimed from day one that the experiments conducted by the Technion cannot confirm that the system is reliable or not. In order to approve an enforcement system there are basic rules that must be met, in our opinion this did not happen at all, and as evidenced in some experiments even the Technion had huge deviations in the speed measurement.”
