Until then, the only way for cities to monitor parking and ensure that motorists paid was to send people to physically check for a parking meter ticket behind the windshield. But soon this method should become history. Indeed, for several years municipalities had a different method. And this is a real verbalization machine. Indeed, some cars equipped with cameras walking the streets scanning every license plate and then issuing fines to drivers who didn’t pay. In addition, it may also create some difficulties for some road users.
Long before automatic parking, here is an absolutely revolutionary innovation 😮 https://t.co/3tcBFavYv0

Unreliable system
This is especially true for people with disabilities. They have the right to park for free in designated spaces, as well as in all others. You just need to show your PMR card at the dashboard. The problem is that the machines responsible for verbalizing unpaid parking cannot detect vehicles with a disabled badge. As a result, they also receive a fine. It is possible to take a ticket free parking at the parking meter, but it is sometimes difficult for people with limited mobility. And programs don’t always work.
Legal action
Odile Morin, municipal councilor of the opposition Toulouse and the president of the Handi-Social association decided to act. For this, she filed an appeal to the administrative court on December 15. Already in 2021, 25 associations have already demonstrated against this system, recognized as discriminatory. Then Odile Morin asks that the physical examination be carried out systematically law enforcement officers. What to question the control of cameras.
