Camera Calibration / Certification Records Demand
Florida red-light and school-zone speed cameras must be calibrated regularly per FDOT and manufacturer specs, with calibration certificates maintained. Demanding the calibration certificate covering the citation date — and noting any lapse — supports dismissal under §316.0083(7) and §316.0776(6).
Legal basis
Florida Statute §316.0083(7); F.S. §316.0776(6); FDOT Vendor Specifications
