Andreas Glarner collects buses for speed camera warning

«Of course not at the school building-no, at the end of the village, just before the end of the 50s zone. Pure rip-off in Berikon … Our regional police have probably not yet fully fulfilled the budget … »SVP National Councilor Andreas Glarner posted this text on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 9.17 a.m. on X (formerly Twitter). To do this, he provided two pictures of a flash, a so -called semi -stationary speed monitoring system that was on the side of the road. The Bremgarten regional police had positioned him there.

Public warnings about traffic controls – and therefore also flashes – are according to Road Transport Act illegal. The legal article has been in force since 2013. Glarner's posting, which is also President of SVP Aargau, therefore has criminal consequences. The public prosecutor sentenced him to a bus from CHF 300 for public warning about traffic controls. The public prosecutor mentions in its punitive order only the warning of X. Glarner has also published the same posting on his Facebook account. It would have not changed its mention in the criminal order at the height of the bus, the public prosecutor's office said.

Glarner dropped the tweet from his office in Oberwil-Lieli. With the text and the two photos, he named the location of the semi-stationary speed control system in Berikon and therefore knowingly and willingly warned the public about the speed control, writes the Muri-Bremgart public prosecutor in her criminal order. This has recently become final. The AZ viewed this.

According to the public prosecutor, Glarner continued to accept that numerous people look at the contribution of his public X profile and thereby experienced the location of the lightning.

The 62-year-old National Council from Oberwil-Lieli must pay a criminal order fee of CHF 400 in addition to the buses. The invoice amount therefore amounts to CHF 700.

The buses were not unexpected for Glarner. Opposite « 20 minutes » After his speed camera post, he had said that he was aware of the possible consequences. « I don't care, » he said. «If the speed camera were in front of the retirement home or in front of the school building, that would be one thing. But it is a rip -off. » On request, he waives a further statement.

Higher buses on Radar Warn apps

The installation of speed camera apps comes more expensive on the cell phone. For example, a handlebar of a van received a bus of CHF 600 and also had to shell out fees of CHF 500 because it was used and was blown up at the Rheinfelden border crossing in January 2022.

A speed camera warning is considered to be public when you see 50 or more people. The 50 is considered a guideline. Depending on the canton or individual case, it can also be less. If you warn his husband or friend of WhatsApp from a speed camera, you cannot get any guilty.

A legal radar warning in Baden

On the other hand, that is legal Radar warning of the canton at the Gstühl crossing in Baden. Two such boards are mounted there, each between the boards with directions. They warn of the thrillers of the Baden city police, which targets speeds -offs and red light blisster in the two main areas.

At the time, Chief Prosecutor Philipp Umbrich explained the AZ why this speed camera warning is allowed: it was a cantonal road. Therefore, the canton is responsible. « The signaling questionable here is a permissible notice signal. » Such would also be used elsewhere, for example on motorway construction sites.
