“We will rewrite legislation where necessary and remove excesses”: De Ridder fears more sentences after fine is annulled by section control

Has the Vilvoorde police court called into question the entire system of commercial section checks in many Flemish municipalities? The verdict, which HLN was able to view, in the case that mobility professor Johan De Mol (UGent) filed against the municipality of Meise is already clear. The judge ruled for the first time that the municipality could not demonstrate that the speeding violation had been established by an authorized person and stated that devices that are not owned by the municipality are not legal. “We will look at how we can remove the excesses,” responds Flemish Minister of Mobility Annick De Ridder at VTM NIEUWS.
