Phnom Penh cops plan crackdown on parking
Mon, 17 July 2017
Khouth Sophak Chakrya
Police in Phnom Penh will next month start issuing fines of up to $25 for violations of parking regulations by using handheld devices that scan licence plates and recognise the registered identity and address of a vehicle’s owner, an official said yesterday.
Run Rothveasna, director of the Interior Ministry’s Traffic and Public Order Department, said that wrongdoers would face fines between 50,000 to 100,000 riel (about $12.50 to $25) depending on the vehicle, withdrawal of their driver’s licence or even court proceedings. “We are training traffic police officials about the use of technology via the sophisticated system,” Rothveasna said of the handheld devices. “They will also tow vehicles.”
Taxi driver Yan Bunthoeun, 46, said that he welcomed the move.
“Some traffic police officers seem to be afraid of the influence of business and vehicle owners, especially of the vehicles with RCAF and police plates. Instead [of fines], when they see the owners of the luxury cars violating traffic laws, they ask them for money,” Bunthoeun said.
Mun Ya, 38, a food vendor on Sothearos Boulevard, said she worried the crackdown on parking violations would extend to irregular street sellers, while cars from the wealthy continue to go without fines.
Rothveasna said that fines would double after 30 days if not paid, and triple after 60 days. After 90 days, a lawsuit would directly be sent to court.

Re: Parking crackup
Surely they don't have a computerised licencing system now, do they? Is it multi lingual, what about cops who cant read English? It sounds like a scam to me like those bomb detectors sold to the Thais by a scammer.

Re: Parking crackup
What are the parking laws? Pretty much nobody knows how to park, they are either 1.5 meters from the curb or straddling it.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Parking crackup
This only works if you have the new plate with the QR code, like the new licenses, right?
This means absolutely anyone can scan your plate with a QR scanner and see your registered address.

Re: Parking crackup
They do have a computerised database. Locally, certainly. Part of the reason they told everyone to register their vehicles with the new law. When I got fined they just needed a laptop and my registration card. Probably has less than a quarter of the vehicles in it, but I'm guessing that they'll be sticking up roadblocks again this coming Feb. Run by the proper police. I presume the scanner is so that they can't fuck it up.willyhilly wrote: ↑Tue Jul 18, 2017 11:07 am Surely they don't have a computerised licencing system now, do they?

Re: Parking crackup
Doesn't necessarily need a QR code, we've had ANPR cameras on the roads in the UK for 30 years. It's pretty old tech now.
