Roads: Cameras

Question for Home Office

UIN HL4622, tabled on 10 January 2023

To ask His Majesty's Government whether recordings from road traffic cameras can be used by the police in investigating all types of crime.

Answered on

Under the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988, evidence from a road traffic enforcement device is obtained for certain motoring offences and used in court proceedings without the need for other corroborative evidence. Therefore, the use of road traffic cameras does not extend to all crime types.
