Police criticized for using camera vans too little

The Danish National Audit Office published a report on Sunday stating that the police are using the country's 107 camera vans incorrectly and too little.

On Sunday, Rigsvisionen published a report criticizing the police's use of the country's 107 camera vans. The cars are used both incorrectly and too little. What is also called "Not entirely satisfactory".

The South and Sonderjylland Police write in a press release that the criticism 'is the least possible'.

It just doesn't change the fact that law enforcement, in the eyes of the National Audit Office, may be better at using the camera vans.

Longer cheese on East Jutland Police photo vans, on the other hand, use the photo vans too little. Nationally, the photo vans are on the roads for an average of 951 hours per year. In East Jutland, it was 'only' 703 hours in the course of 2023.

– We have 11 ATKs (photo vans, ed.), and they should drive as much as possible. We would like to have 1,000 control hours per year per van, says Brian Voss Olsen, a police inspector, to TV2 Østjylland.

However, the East Jutland Police and several other police districts in the country are also criticized for being in the wrong places with the camera vans. Several sections are either under- or over-controlled with the rolling camera equipment of the law enforcement agencies.

For example, things are going completely wrong on Ryomvej in Thorsager on Djursland. Here, there are 113 more control hours but 35 percent fewer people actually driving too fast, writes Rigsrevisionen.

In fact, the police nationwide only use the camera vans correctly 85 percent of the time. On 13 percent of the routes where the ATK cars are, on the other hand, not enough checks are made. While in 3 percent of cases the police are present too much.

– The police can place the camera vans to an even greater extent in places and times where there is excessive speed and traffic accidents.

– By using available data to a greater extent to position the camera vans, the police will be able to contribute more to reducing the number of speeding and accidents, the recommendation is.

The National Audit Office's criticism of the police, however, does not change the fact that the camera vans are a goldmine for the state treasury. So much so, in fact, that the police's work with the automatic traffic control is included in the budget every year. You can read how much money the state gets in this way here .

When the police got new camera vans in January 2023, more advanced equipment came with the more cars. This means that hiding on two wheels is over. The first motorcyclist also fell into the trap just two days later.
