Police in South Australia will now close more than a hundred intersections with red-light cameras once a month to test them and will suspend the collecting of all red-light fines in the wake of a Supreme Court judgement.

SA Police has suspended collecting fines for running a red light in South Australia and will temporarily close 134 intersections once a month in response to a Supreme Court judgement.Red-light cameras will still be catching those who run red lightsOnce every 28 days, multiple police officers will be dispatched to close each intersection with a red-light camera so they can be tested.

"The Supreme Court judgement requires a testing process involving police vehicles activating the red-light camera in controlled conditions," the statement said. "SAPOL will commence the closure of intersections to conduct drive-through tests in accordance with the judgement as soon as possible." But anyone caught by the cameras who had yet to pay their fine, and anyone caught since the judgement was handed down last Friday, will not have to pay up, at least for now."However, we acknowledge that as a result of this judgement, we are obliged to review our testing and checking processes while we seek advice in relation to the Supreme Court decision," the police statement said.
