Risks of Off-site Law Enforcement by Traffic Police via Electronic Surveillance Devices and Preventative Strategies
Off-site law enforcement by traffic police via electronic surveillance devices has not only significantly enhanced administrative efficiency but also substantially reduced law-enforcement expenses.While the utilization of such devices facilitates law enforcement,it may also bring a series of legal risks,including potential infringement upon the procedural participation rights of administrative counterparts,difficulties in detecting and correcting errors produced by electronic surveillance devices,and the chaotic phenomenon brought about by replacing management with penalties.The factors contributing to these risks encompass the black-box nature and high-speed of the algorithms within electronic surveillance devices,the lack or absence of relevant institutional and regulatory provisions for off-site law enforcement by traffic police,and law enforcers'excessive reliance on such devices.To prevent these risks,the ancillary nature of electronic surveillance devices should be clarified,and traffic police officers should strengthen the procedures of notification,listening to opinions,and explaining reasons during their law-enforcement activities,while upholding the principle of combining education with punishment.Additionally,a third-party supervision mechanism should be established to conduct regular appraisals of these devices.
