TRAFFIC REGULATION 1962 - REG 210A

210A ANPR camera systems—no trucks sign offences

(1) This section applies if an ANPR camera system is used to provide evidence of a prescribed offence against the Queensland Road Rules , section 104 (1) , (2) or (3) .

Note—

The Queensland Road Rules , section 104 , involves offences for driving past a no trucks sign.

(2) For section 120 (2) (d) of the Act , the following are the requirements about the operation of the ANPR camera system—

(a) the camera part of the ANPR camera system must be positioned and aimed so that—

(i) an image made by the system shows the front of the vehicle that has driven past the no trucks sign, including the vehicle’s number plate; and

(ii) the image mentioned in subparagraph (i) , or another image made by the system, shows the vehicle that has driven past the no trucks sign;

(b) the ANPR camera system must operate in a way that indicates whether an image captured by the camera part of the ANPR camera system has been tampered with.

Note—

Since an image certified by an official, as mentioned in section 120 (2) of the Act , is evidence of the accuracy of the image, if there is an indication that an image has been tampered with, the official would not be able to certify that the image was properly made.

(3) For section 120 (4) of the Act , the marking or writing (a
"data block" ) made by the ANPR camera system associated with an image made by the system has the following meaning—

(a) a sequence of four numbers separated by a colon is the time in 24-hour clock mode when the image was captured;

(b) a sequence of six numbers separated by 2 backslashes is the date, in the order of day, month and year (ddmmyy), when the image was captured;

(c) a sequence of five numbers is the number given in the Traffic Camera Coding Manual for the location of the camera part of the ANPR camera system when the image was captured.

Example for subsection (3)—

A data block may show the following information—

• 23:59

• 07/07/06

• 20001.

The data block indicates the image was captured at 11:59p.m. on 7 July 2006 and the camera part of the ANPR camera system was located at the place given the number 20,001 in the Traffic Camera Coding Manual.
