Police Infringement Notice for ????

Lsambo56 on 10/06/2015 - 17:48

I'm in Perth and just received a Traffic Infringement Notice which reportedly shows photo evidence that I turned right at an intersection from the middle lane of 3 lanes rather than from the right lane of the 3 lanes. Penalty is $100 and 2 demerit points.
I'm used to this road and have no recollection of making the illegal right turn on that Sat afternoon.
I have shown the notice with the 4 photos to a number of people and none of us can see how they could have come to that conclusion.
I visited the intersection and viewed the area from where the 2 cameras are located and I am still scratching my head over this.
I have a few questions for this forum, before I question this with the Police and then possibly go to court to attempt to disprove it.
1. Has anyone else had a similar experience - cnr Canning Hwy and Risely St Applecross which has 4 way lights.
2. Anyone know if Police have some other technology to detect where a vehicle is turning right from or do they just rely on photo evidence?

cheers…

    Any way of blocking out personal information and putting the picture up?

    I didn't even know that they had cameras to detect which lane you turn from.

      Great work buddy! You know what a safety camera looks like.

    I'm confused. Are you saying that you were in the middle lane, but not turning? Or that you did turn, but were in the turning lane?

    If the camera got it wrong, send them a letter asking them to review the 4 photos and withdraw the fine. I don't think you need our help with this if it's an obvious mistake like you say?

    Any chance that the photos could be made anonymous and then put up?

    the sensors are in the ground.

    a driver making a right turn from a multilane where they aren't permitted will trigger the sensor and get pinged.

    The simple solution to these issues OP is to cut the camera pole and replace with an orange cone, before turning in the wrong lane.

    Trying to understand your argument here

    1) I can't remember doing it - irrelevant if they've got pics of it.
    2) The photos don't show me breaking the law - if they don't then request a review.
    3) I don't know what tech they used to catch me - irrelevant if they've got photos of you committing the offense.
