In total, six operators will be able to check the addresses of people who have been fined, starting this Wednesday, January 8. This system has been validated by the National Commission for Information Technology and Liberties (Cnil).
“Stop fraud”. This is the name of this new system which will be put in place from this Wednesday January 8 and which will allow six operators including SNCF, RATP and Keolis, to check the addresses of offenders who have been fined.
According to RMC, this new way of doing things has been validated by the National Commission for Information Technology and Liberties (Cnil), this organization ensures the protection of personal data.
Verifications which can be carried out via the files of the General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFiP), but once again, only if the offender has not given a false identity.
“Fraud, perceived as an injustice by other users, represents a shortfall estimated at around 700 million euros per year throughout the country. This system will make the addresses of offenders more reliable to optimize the recovery of fines,” underlined the Union of Public and Rail Transport (UTPF) in a press release echoed by our colleagues.
A check at the end of the day
Another important point in this system is that verification of the offender's address can only be done at the end of the day.
However, our colleagues specify that the possibility of doing so in the future during the control appears in the bill for “strengthening security in transport”, tabled by the senator (LR) of Alpes-Maritimes Philippe Tabarot, became Minister of Transport.
