Friedrichshafen is investing in Hightech-Blitzer: A controversial decision!

The city of Friedrichshafen has decided to buy a state-of-the-art speed camera trailer for 230,000 euros in order to control traffic offenders more effectively. The municipal council quickly approved this step during its most recent session, but rejected an additional half -day position to process the resulting fines. As the Schwäbische Zeitung was not found so that it was very Probable, new penalties.

The new speed camera offers the opportunity to be placed flexibly in critical places, even at night and on weekends, which guarantees a complete control. Mayor Simon Bümcke has announced that the trailer could only be used sporadically to minimize fines and thus the administrative effort. But this approach met with resistance: criticism came from the groups of the Greens and the SPD/Die Linke, which saw the need for an additional position. Some members of the municipal council expressed concerns that the planned use of the flash would not have the desired effect.

New digital paths for council members

In addition to the traffic monitoring techniques, the municipality also wants to improve the digital way of working of the council members. For some time now, more and more cities have been making tablets available to their mandate carriers in order to make use more efficiently and safer. These devices can also be used privately, which is secured by a regulation between the municipality and the council members. According to Municipal Brevier the devices.

With the introduction of tablet PCs, digital council work is raised to a new level, which not only improves data protection, but also facilitates uniform handling of the technology. It remains to be seen how well these technologies work in practice and whether the city councils can adjust to these digital innovations.
