Traffic fines by email? No, says JPSA

Can you imagine the amount of spam/phishing mails that will happen if they did.

Its the first address I'll add to my spam list!
 
I think JPSA is lying.

From the Amemded Act itself":

Clause 9
Clause 9 amends section 19 of the Act by deleting reference to a "minor
infringement" and the restriction to notify the infringer by registered mail. This is to
facilitate other more efficient methods to be used, including electronic means.

Clause 20
2.20.1 Clause 20 amends section 30 of the Act to remove the restriction of service being only personal or registered mail and include other electronic methods or service. This will introduce efficient methods of electronic service and result in efficient cost saving mechanisms to benefit issuing authorities - and the agency tremendously, as well as ensuring expeditious service of documents to infringers, thereby enabling them to address their outstanding infringements speedily.

If fact, every occurrence of the phrase [by registered mail] is deleted from the Act.
 
Seems like JPSA only referred to section 4A.

This section below mentions nothing about "juristic persons only". This sections applies to any infringer.


Amendment of section 30 of Act 46 of 1998, as amended by section 3 of Act 22
of 1999

20.
Section 30 of the principal Act is hereby amended-
(a)
by the substitution for subsection (1) of the following subsection:
"(1)
Any document required to be served on an
infringer in terms of this Act, must be served on the infringer
[personally or sent by registered mail to his or her last known
address] as prescribed, including electronic service."

[Bold in square brackets are deletions]

underlines words are additions

JMPD contravenes their own act for years by sending illegal notices to people.
Instead of stopping their illegal practices, they rather apply for it to be made legal, AND for them to get additional avenues through which to deliver fines?

See how quickly I change my email address and cell number if that happens.
