POLICE — SPEEDING FINE CLERICAL ERRORS
1032. Hon HELEN BULLOCK to the Attorney General representing
the Minister for Police:
How many speeding fines have WA Police withdrawn in the past
five financial years as a result of clerical errors?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
On behalf of the Minister for
Police, I advise that ''clerical error'' is not a recorded term
used in the image and infringement processing system database. To identify the
withdrawn traffic infringements for speeding as a result of clerical error
would require a significant amount of time and resources in order to review
each withdrawn infringement and then collate and process the data. It is
therefore not possible for WA Police to obtain this level of detail without
significantly compromising other core policing activities.
