Can Traffic Violations Be Captured at Night?
1 Answers
Traffic violations can be captured at night, but due to poor lighting conditions, electronic eyes (traffic cameras) may sometimes fail to capture clear images, which can result in no penalties even if a violation is photographed. This might give the impression that the chances of being caught for nighttime violations are lower. Electronic Eye Photography: Electronic eyes operate continuously 24/7 and will photograph any detected violations, so there is no truth to the claim that they shut down at night. Difficulty Capturing the Driver Inside the Vehicle: At night, electronic eyes may struggle to clearly photograph the driver inside the vehicle, but they can still capture the license plate clearly. This is mainly because license plates are reflective, and the small white dots on them help the electronic eye focus. Additionally, electronic eyes use infrared fill light at night, ensuring that license plate numbers are captured without any issues.
