With upgraded software, the police surveillance cameras in Sofia will automatically pick up vehicles running a red light and speeding, and fines will be imposed once the license number has been traced, the heads of the traffic police video surveillance department have announced. At the moment this process is manual – a video surveillance officer has to see the violation and send it over to the traffic police, which have to summon the offender. Only then can a fine be imposed. With the new system the offender will be handed the fine directly. The new cameras will be placed at 51 points – 36 on Sofia’s ring road, the rest in the city centre. According to the legislative changes under discussion in parliament, the traffic police will have access to the municipal CCTV cameras, ten times the number of police cameras, which can also be used to impose fines.
