Police resist calls to reveal speed camera locations, as MPs say ‘you’ve made citizens your enemies’.

Police and government ministries in Cyprus oppose pre-announcing mobile speed camera locations, citing operator safety, potential aid to criminals, and the dynamic nature of camera deployment. Authorities stated that publishing locations would be misleading due to real-time changes and could endanger operators. They also claim that it would increase costs. While some argue for transparency and predictability in enforcement, authorities maintain the current system is necessary. Some MPs criticize the system as unfair and accuse authorities of prioritizing revenue over justice.
