Moving Traffic Violation - Camera Not Approved

Local authorities must have their CCTV enforcement cameras and systems approved by the Secretary of State for moving traffic offences. Unapproved systems cannot support enforcement.

Legal basis

Traffic Management Act 2004, Section 73-76; Civil Enforcement of Road Traffic Contraventions (Approved Devices) (England) Order.

How to identify this in your case

Request details of the camera/system used and its approval certification.

Sample appeal wording

Please provide confirmation that the CCTV system used to capture this alleged moving traffic contravention is an approved device under the Traffic Management Act 2004 and associated regulations. Specifically, I request: (1) The make and model of the camera system; (2) The approval certification reference; (3) Calibration records for the date of the alleged contravention. If the device is not properly approved, this PCN is invalid.

Replace [PARKING DATE], [NtK DATE] etc. with your own dates before sending.
