Government probes 37 agencies over speed camera irregularities

The national government has opened an administrative investigation against 37 traffic agencies for possible failures in speed camera systems. Authorities found breaches of technical requirements set by law.

The Superintendence of Transport and the Ministry of Transport found that several agencies began operations without the performance certificate from the National Metrology Institute. Twelve started without this requirement, seven used certificates issued to third parties and 18 obtained it after operations began.

Cities involved include Medellín, Cali, Bogotá, Barranquilla, Cartagena and Bucaramanga. The agencies issued more than 7.5 million tickets, of which 1.58 million have already been paid for over 1.05 trillion pesos.

Transport Minister Mafe Rojas said speed cameras cannot be used as a collection mechanism outside the law. Superintendent Alfredo Piñeros added that no camera can operate without meeting technical and legal requirements.

More than 5.8 million unpaid tickets will be revoked. The investigated entities could face sanctions exceeding 2.1 trillion pesos.
