Bill 2990/24, currently circulating in the Chamber of Deputies, with the aim of ending the so-called “fine mafia”, proposes that all traffic violations captured by radars and cameras must be accompanied by a corroborative image. The initiative is from Deputy Dayany Bittencourt (União-CE) and aims to bring more justice, transparency, and safety for fined drivers.
Today, many traffic violations, such as speeding and running a red light, already have automatic photographic records that show the exact moment of the infraction. However, not all fines follow this practice. In many cases, violations are recorded by equipment such as electronic speed bumps that, despite capturing the violation data, do not produce any image.
The project seeks to standardize this process, requiring that any traffic violation registered electronically must have an image as proof. This, according to Deputy Bittencourt, would provide more grounds for drivers to contest fines they consider unfair. “It is a measure that puts drivers on an equal footing, allowing them to defend themselves with transparency and accuracy,” Bittencourt argues. The measure, in addition to ensuring more transparency, aims to combat what the deputy calls the “fine mafia,” promising a more reliable system free of suspicions of irregularities.
Images that Prove the Fines: The Importance for Drivers’ Defense
The images of violations are a fundamental piece in the right to defense of drivers. For those who have already received a contestable fine, the absence of a visual proof can make the contestation process unjust and frustrating.

The project highlights that the use of photos or videos is not just a technical detail, but a guarantee of safety for the driver. In this way, the proposal aims to reduce the risk of fines applied mistakenly and provide a more transparent system, where “word against word” is no longer the only basis.
And what about violations recorded by traffic agents?
It is worth noting that the bill does not cover traffic violations recorded directly by traffic agents. In these cases, the principle of “public faith” still applies, meaning the word of the agent has legal validity, and the fine is considered legitimate without the need for a photographic record. The proposal, therefore, applies only to violations captured electronically, such as those recorded by video monitoring cameras or fixed and mobile radars.
Next Steps: What’s Needed for the Bill to Become Law
For Bill 2990/24 to become law, it still needs to go through some approval stages in the National Congress. Currently, the text is being analyzed by the Transportation and Traffic Commission and the Constitution, Justice and Citizenship Commission in the Chamber of Deputies.
If approved in these committees, it will proceed to a vote in the Senate. If all these phases are successfully completed, the project promises to mark a transformation in the traffic fine system in Brazil, making it fairer and more transparent for drivers and authorities.
With the advancement of this proposal, Brazilian drivers may soon count on a mandatory photographic record for each traffic fine, ensuring more clarity and safety at every stage of the process.
Muito bom, fui multado por uso de celular sem ao menos portar o aparelho, tenho selo de bom condutor desde que entrou em vigor. Cadê as provas, é só a fala do **** agente de trânsito.

Alguns agentes de transito…se manifestam como se fossem donos da verdade…multado SEM coerência o motorista brasileiro que já pagam uma fortuna com o IPVA..anual….isso sim deveria ser analisado…por esses políticos que não fazem nada pelo povo brasileiro…✌
Isso ai não mudar nada a questão da “Palavra contra palavra”, pelo que eu li a “lei” vai continuar dando a razão pros “agentes de trânsito” mesmo a gente tendo provas do contrário pois a “lei” dá mais valor ao que o **** de farda diz do que as provas que o motorista apresenta, eu fui multado duas vezes pelo mesmo **** em questão de dois dias onde ele me multou pela sinalização da placa ( sendo que estava funcionando) e colocou na multa a seguinte desculpa “Não foi possível fazer a abordagem no veículo porque fomos atender demanda”. E eu entrei com advogado (que é outra coisa que não funciona) com provas das câmeras do meu trabalho onde mostrava que a minha sinalização estava funcionando e nem assim eu consegui me livrar das multas. Outra coisa de acordo com o CTB eles tem até 5 dias úteis para enviar as multas, coisa que não acontece na realidade tanto é que eu tomei as multas no início do mês e só recebi no final do mês.
