A quiet legal problem is undoing traffic fines across the country.
In recent weeks, judges have dismissed several camera fines in court.
The reason is procedural: municipalities could not show that the Public Prosecution Service had given proper permission for the cameras that caught the drivers.
Why permission matters
Enforcement cameras may only be placed with authorisation from the prosecution service.
Without that paperwork, a fine produced by the camera does not hold up when challenged.
Judges have now made that point in multiple cases, throwing the penalties out.
What it means for drivers
The rulings do not switch off any cameras, and most fines are still paid without a second look.
But they show that contesting a fine can succeed on the paperwork alone.
For municipalities, the message is blunter: get the permissions in order, or watch the fines evaporate in court.
