Schedule of Admission of Guilt fines

Unread post by jfromtheb »

Good day,

Has anyone heard of, witnessed or been party to a person being prosecuted by law enforcement in terms of the Act and/or Regulations dealing with RPA’s? If so, please can you provide input in terms of the 1) Schedule, 2) agreed sections identifying the transgression and 3) the Admission of Guilt fines or alternatives.

Feedback or a contact in the SACAA who could advise would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Have never heard of anyone being prosecuted for drones....

I dont think anyone has never been threatened with it, but never heard of anything going all the way through prosecuting...

All possible offenses and penalties are listed in Part 185 of the CARs.

Thanks for the response Justin, in the Regulations, the following is stated:

185.01.1 (1) Any person who commits an offence, or contravenes these Regulations, may
be subjected to administrative or criminal action in terms of this Part.
(2) The Director shall establish a system for taking enforcement action against any
person who has infringed or committed an offence in terms of the Act or these Regulations
that is impartial and administratively fair.
(3) The Director shall publish, for the use and guidance of authorised officers,
inspectors, authorised persons and enforcement officers, an enforcement procedure
prescribing the manner in which enforcement actions, duties and responsibilities shall be
exercised.


I am looking for the enforcement procedure and guidelines as listed above (3a, b). Does it exist?

Thank you
J
