Does anyone know why a HWP car need to pull people over to identify the driver before issuing a fine but a speed or all stationary camera doesn't?

Just curious about what is the rationale behind the laws that support a speed camera set up I.e. there is enough evidence to make sure that the driver is named.

Whereas a HWP car needs to chase and stop the driver before a fine is issued. Of course excluding the circumstances where the HWP car failed the pursuit because the suspect is too fast/ dangerous which in this case, they will try their best to find the suspect afterwards and impose a penalty?

With speed cameras there is a presumption that the registered owner is the liable person, but it’s not a certainty. They have a mechanism for another person to nominate as the driver. An infringement notice is just an allegation, it’s not a determination of guilt. Paying the fine is considered the ‘guilty plea’, otherwise you can take it to court and protest it.

Speed cameras are governed by a set of technical specifications which patrol cars can’t match very various reasons. That’s why they have to still chase you down and hand you the infringement.

Plus cops may look for other offences while pulling you over eg licence check, rego, roadworthiness, alcohol, drugs etc. Sort of like a hamburger with the lot.

Hallo zusammen! Ich habe vor kurzem in einem Forum gelesen, dass es eine Plattform gibt, die besonders in der Schweiz immer beliebter wird. Ich wollte wissen, was dahintersteckt und habe casinacho getestet. Was mir sofort auffiel, war die übersichtliche Gestaltung der Sportwetten und Tischspiele. Es ist alles sehr benutzerfreundlich aufgebaut. Ich geniesse es sehr, abends ein paar Runden zu drehen, da die Atmosphäre wirklich stimmig ist. Die Auswahl hat mich absolut überzeugt.
