Lighted lightning trailer in Eberswalde-police investigated!

Heegermühler Straße, 16225 Eberswalde, Deutschland - A speed camera fan burned on Friday morning in Eberswalde, Barnim. The East police department announced that the speed measuring device, which has only been used in trial operation for three weeks, was set on fire in Heegermühler Straße around four in the morning. The fire brigade was able to quickly control the fire, but the trailer was apparently lit from the outside. The police have secured evidence and initiated criminal proceedings. The laser speedster was rented by the city of Eberswalde and remarkably, more than 500 speed overruns were already found in the first five days of operation, as reported [RBB24]

The speed camera trailer, which was affected in this episode, is part of a system for monitoring speed overruns that are increasingly being used in Germany. Speed ​​camera supporters such as the use used in the Eberswalde standardized measurement methods with laser technology, as is also used in other flashes. According to [Bussgeld catalog], these devices can be operated between 5 to 10 days without police control to effectively monitor traffic offenders.

Details on speed camera supporters

The speed camera trailers that stand inconspicuously on the side of the road are difficult to distinguish from ordinary followers. They are often used at danger spots such as construction sites or confusing curves. Well -known models are the Traffistar S350 from Jenoptik and the Enforcement Trailer from Vitronic. These devices are equipped with laser technology that enables high -precision measurements, while they can also be used for toll controls. As a rule, they are provided with a license plate to meet the road traffic regulations, as [Bussgeld portal] explained.

The fines for speeding speeds vary depending on the severity of the violation. In urban areas, the penalties can be between 30 and 800 euros. Different speed limits of a maximum of 80 km/h are required for trailer vehicles. For this purpose, the following table shows the fines for speed overrun with trailer:

A recommended tolerance value for laser measurements enables 3 km/h to be deducted up to 100 km/h, while over 100 km/h 3% of the measured speed are deducted. However, the precision of these devices is not without controversy. A study shows that 56% of the fine notices are incorrect, which indicates that many road users may be wrongly punished, as [Bussgeld portal].

This not only represents the incident in Eberswalde an attack on public institutions, but also raises questions about the effectiveness and accuracy of speed camera fans. The use of this technology will probably continue to increase, but the integration of security and fairness into the system remains a challenge.
