1. Can traffic police issue fines through surveillance vehicles?

A fine is a term often used to refer to a form of handling violations after a certain period of time has passed. With this form of fine, the owners of the violating vehicles are not handled immediately after the violation, but the images of the violation will be recorded by a camera system installed on the street and sent to the processing center.

Accordingly, Article 19 of Circular 32/2023/TT-BCA stipulates the detection of administrative violations through professional technical means and equipment as follows:

- Traffic police officers use professional technical equipment and means to detect and collect violations of the law by people and vehicles participating in road traffic. Drivers of vehicles participating in traffic are responsible for cooperating with requests for inspection and control through professional technical equipment and means of traffic police officers.

- The results collected by professional technical equipment and means are photos, images, printed forms, measurement indexes, data stored in the memory of professional technical equipment and means; are counted, listed, printed into photos or records of violations and kept in the administrative violation case file according to the provisions of law and the Ministry of Public Security on file work.

- When technical equipment and vehicles detect and collect information and images of illegal acts of people and vehicles participating in road traffic, the person with the authority to impose penalties shall do the following:

+ Organize forces to stop vehicles to control and handle violations according to regulations. In case the violator requests to see information, images, and collected results about the violation, the Traffic Police Team will show them at the control point; if there is no information, images, or results at the control point, the violator will be instructed to see them when he/she comes to handle the violation at the unit's headquarters;

+ In case the violating vehicle cannot be stopped for control and handling of the violation, the provisions of Article 28 of Circular 32/2023/TT-BCA shall apply.

Thus, when detecting administrative violations through technical means and equipment, the Traffic Police have the right to impose fines on vehicle owners.
