The Court of First Instance in Chefchaouen issued a ruling in March that invalidates a traffic violation report based on data from a “hidden radar,” ordering the public treasury to refund all amounts paid by the appellant and to bear the legal costs.
The case involved a legal appeal filed by a lawyer from the Tetouan Bar Association, who was stopped by the Royal Gendarmerie on the grounds of exceeding the legal speed limit on a national road. In his appeal, the lawyer argued that the officer who issued the violation report had not personally observed the violation but had instead relied on information transmitted by another gendarme who was hiding at the side of the road and recorded the vehicle’s speed using a radar.
The court ruled that this procedure violated the law, which requires the officer who issues the report to directly observe the violation. It emphasized that evidence of a violation cannot be based on data from an unknown or legally questionable source. Consequently, the court annulled the report and canceled the violation, underlining the necessity of adhering to legal standards in traffic violation procedures.
